bring happened national state ultimate
This would be the ultimate thing, to bring a national championship back to my hometown, back to the state of Louisiana, especially with everything that happened here.
caught court cut difficult opportunity players standing
I think a lot of times we got caught standing in the paint, so there wasn't a lot of opportunity for the perimeter players to drive. Once we spaced the court and screened and cut - do the things we do - it was difficult for them to keep up.
europe gold knew shocking time
Regardless, we knew she'd want us to come back to Europe and go for the gold. While it was shocking when it happened, at the same time we knew what we had to do.
bad feet good running
The play was running perfectly. I had a good screen, but it was a bad shot, I should have had my feet set once I turned.
difficult fighting guts half heart offense says within
We showed a lot of heart and a lot of guts just to keep fighting through the difficult times that we had when Sylvia was out and our offense was struggling. Just to be within 3 going into half says a lot about us and our character.
dunk hang reverse side
When you see her come and do a reverse dunk from one side to the other and actually like hang off the rim, it's amazing.
duke easy guard offense run stood
We didn't run our offense effectively. We just stood around too much and made it too easy for Duke to guard us.
arena challenge civic establish greatest history ourselves possibly program prove school step themselves tough trying underdog yes
When you step into an arena like the Civic Center, with so much history that they've made in there, yes you do come in as the underdog because they've done what they've had to do over the years to prove themselves as possibly the greatest program in the country. We're trying to establish ourselves as a powerhouse school as well. It's going to be a tough challenge to see where we are as a team.
across head slammed
I got slammed across the head pretty hard. I actually blacked out.
case chance drawing losing shot stopped whatever
I didn't want to take a chance at drawing a foul, losing the ball, whatever the case may have been, so I stopped and shot the jumper.
crunch rather saying teammates time
If someone has to take them especially at crunch time then I'd rather take the shot. I'm not saying that my teammates can't make the shots, but I'd like them to come to me every time.
appreciate deserving good hard joy people states worked
I feel good about it. I think I've worked hard enough to be deserving of this. It's just a joy being able to go into other states and have people know who you are and appreciate what you're doing for the women's game.
focused goal national prepared winning worry
We don't worry about seeding. We have to be prepared to play whoever, wherever. We're focused on our goal of winning the national championship.
arena everybody qualities responsibility shoulders walks
Everybody who walks into that arena has the responsibility of representing Pete Maravich. It's on our shoulders to not disrespect, (but) to play with the qualities of Pete Maravich.
