Sarah Lowe Team Quotations

Coach always tells us it's not necessarily the team with the best players but the best team that wins. I think tonight you saw that. We don't have McDonald's All-Americans. We don't have All-Americans.

(Sunday) was amazing. We upset LSU, but in contrast to that victory, there were about 20,000 people in the arena (Sunday) essentially cheering against you. ... It was my first time (beating Tennessee) and only the second time in program history. So you can imagine what that felt like for all of us. We beat two potential (NCAA) No.1 seeds, and we beat Tennessee on their home floor. That's huge. Not a lot of teams can say that.

It's easy to get fired up for the big-time teams where you're clearly an underdog. We came out flat against teams we were supposed to beat and paid for it. I think we've gotten confidence from our big wins and learned from our ugly losses.

This is the best team I've played on. Mississippi State, although their record may not show it, they're a very talented team but still a team we should beat. I think this year we're definitely in position to make some noise at this tournament.

Teams come in and see Tennessee on the jersey and fold. The game is over before it even starts. It's a matter of coming out and giving it everything you've got, and that's what we did.

The tougher team won (yesterday), and I feel 100 percent confident saying that.

We knew they were talented. We didn't come out with the focus and composure we needed against a team like that.

When you have 20,000 people cheering against you, you find that energy somewhere, somehow. I think tonight you saw that mentality and mindset. The tougher team won tonight. I feel 100 percent confident in saying that.
