We knew they were going to give us a tough game, and they did.

I would hope that (the NCAA selection committee) wouldn't hold one team in our conference back because of one or two others that got No. 1 seeds.
choosing kid needs style taking
But I'm not taking a kid out of another program. That's why in recruiting, a kid needs to look at the style of play when they're choosing a school.
lined sound
They make it sound like we're going to have coffins lined up at practice. It won't be that bad.

She's a winner. She took that shot mainly because she's a winner.

I think right now that's probably the downfall of the NCAA tournament.
road second seed team year
This is the second year we've had to do this, and this year we are the No. 1 seed yet we're having to play a team like Vanderbilt on the road in the second game.

I didn't feel like we were in a rhythm after Ivory got hurt. She's our spark. We didn't seem to have any energy.

They gave us a different look than what we usually see, but I thought they did an excellent job.

You may think I'm crazy, but I think the conference will be stronger next year.

I'm just proud of our team for being the regular-season ACC champs.

A little sloppy at times, but we knew it was going to be a tough game. We're a team, with the tempo we play, lots of times we play in runs. We felt like we eventually could go on a run and get a pretty good lead.

Her leadership has also improved. For a sophomore, she has shown a lot of maturity.
