Katie Smith Quotations

She was in there with the trees, banging away. She's fearless and competitive. She looks strong. She's ready to rock and roll.

Obviously, these guys have beaten them before at their place. I wasn?t with them at the time, but we know it?s doable. I think it?s going to be another knock-down, drag-out (game), but I think we have the confidence and the tools to get it done.

I think we decided to be a little more aggressive. Obviously we also picked it up defensively, but we needed to go ahead and get some good looks and knock them down. For myself it's just a matter of not just sliding into the background, but stepping up and making shots, knocking them down. That got us going a little bit. Tina (Thompson) started hitting a few too. I hit a couple, she hit a couple and it gave us a little cushion that helped us down the stretch. We didn't have to sweat it out too much.

I think we just did a beautiful job of moving the ball around and finding open shots.

With the talent we have, we should have never been in that position. There should have never been a chance of us missing the playoffs.

We had some good looks and we couldn't knock our shots down. They came out to play and simply outplayed us.

We obviously put ourselves in the hole. Now you look at (tonight?s game) and it?s a one-game thing. We have to bring everything we have.

We put ourselves in a hole. Now we have to bring everything we've got for Friday. We know we have the talent to pull this off.

I know all their plays, all their tendencies. I mean, in a sense it was like practice. Obviously we wanted to win this. It's huge for the playoffs.

I don't know. I can't see ... .

I don't know how you explain it other than to say that basketball is a funny game and sometimes a team just has another team's number. I'm sure you're going to see them come out and get after us pretty hard though. They've been playing great basketball all season.
