mean number seed
You would think that little number (No. 2 seed in the region) would mean something, wouldn't you?
chance deserve prove
It's disappointing, but we have a chance now to prove we do deserve it.
beat both duke good seen
At this point, we've both seen it all and done it all. We are both battle-tested. In the past, Duke was better. We know we can beat them and we're just as good this year.

In the past, they were just better, honestly. Now they're not better, we're at equal strength and that's why our games have been so close this year.

I heard a long time ago that it's real bad luck for shooters when you stare at their shoes, so I stared at them long and hard.
anyone country except expect front mean name number single win
Does anyone expect us to win at this point? No, except for us. We're the underdogs. Just because of a little number in front of our name doesn't mean every single person in the country doesn't think otherwise.
bad feels felt playing regardless shot stay win worse
It feels good, but the win feels better. I haven't been playing well but we've been winning. It would have felt a lot worse if we had been losing. I'm going to keep shooting, regardless of how bad I shot in the past. I'm going to stay confident.
ball contest front game great hands plan shots
The game plan was to keep Latta in front of us. She's a great player, but we wanted to contest all of her shots and keep the ball out of her hands as much as possible.

I could tell you what each of them ate for breakfast this morning. Both teams know each other very well.

The tides haven't completely turned, but we're definitely even now. We're not nervous now, and we've proven we can beat them. We know we can beat them, and we know we can play with them.
crystal draws goes guards obviously players post
Crystal obviously is our No. 1 option. Everything goes through her. She spreads the game, especially for the guards and the other post players because she draws so much attention.
confidence force full next year
Having us come back full force next year is going to be a confidence booster for us.
feeling final matter next time
If you want to come back here, the next time will be for the Final Four. That feeling was unbelievable. You just want to get back here no matter what.

It was a leap of faith, but it was an educated leap. We looked at what Coach B had done turning around programs and who was coming in. My parents and my sister and I did a lot of research.
