game love opens players post
When you have two post players like that, as a guard, you just have to love that. It just opens the game for us so much.
arm biggest feeling game knew leave lost move needed team trying
I lost the feeling in my arm and I was trying to move it. I didn't want to leave the game. I mean, it's the biggest game of my life. I knew my team needed me on the court.
duke game losses people saying statement
This was a big statement game for us. People were saying we were overrated. They were writing us off. The only losses we have are to Duke and Tennessee.
deadly games national nobody player single stepped stop team won
Every player stepped up so big and in different games and that's what makes our team so dangerous. This team is so deadly at every single position, which is why we won the national championship, because nobody can stop us in any position.
close equal games strength
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.
reality years games
The reality is our season prepared us so well that if we have to play Duke in the second game, we've done that three times this year. We've played North Carolina and Duke back-to-back that this would be the third time. We're just very prepared for this moment.
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.
almost beat country games great knew left point season team time turning
That was kind of the turning point of our season. We knew we could play with anyone. But when we almost beat the No. 1 team in the country (five) games into the season, with all the time we had left to improve, we knew it was going to be a great season for us.
boxing came hustling stop
It came down to our defense. We didn't stop them. It wasn't them; it was everything we weren't doing -- hustling back, boxing out, the things that we can control.
believed bursting came chance choice country duke gave harvard maryland national nobody obvious reasons team winning won
It came down to Maryland, Harvard and Duke. Harvard for obvious reasons (it was her parents' first choice), Duke was a team that had not won a national title, but was already there (close to winning one). Maryland gave me a chance to do what nobody else in the country believed we could do. I like doing that, bursting people's expectations.
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.
anyone definitely expected gotten instilled reality since winning
We've just kind of instilled a winning mentality, that we can do it and we can play with anyone and it's been there since I've gotten there. So nothing's changed. It's reality and we definitely expected it.
energy picked waited
We picked up our energy level. It's unfortunate we waited that long.
ahead definitely expected quick
We definitely expected to be here. For us it's not, you know, a quick thing and it's not ahead of schedule. It's right on time.
