Ann Strother Needed Quotations

Shots weren't falling. I felt like we had a lot of good looks and we couldn't get them to go down. It wasn't easy, and we made it harder on ourselves than we needed to. Defensively, we've been pretty consistent all year. It's something we could always rely on. Offensively, we have work to do.

I think it was just a crucial play that we needed at a big point in the game. Either they were going to get the momentum back on their side and continue to kind of chip away at us and you could've seen something that happened the other night. It definitely was a big play. Coach called it up and Barbara set a great screen. I was wide open.

We were experiencing a little lull at the time when they were going on a run. We needed to step up and make something happen.

The most overwhelming feelings I have right now are being frustrated and angry. You replay things in your head that you let slip away and it makes you so mad. The hardest feeling for me personally is feeling that I didn't do what I needed to do to represent the program.

There was a time where nothing was really going on and it was kind of stagnant. I think we needed to get something going if we were going to win. So this was the time.

Being in that position knowing that something needed to happen and wanting to really take over and be that person who made something happen was important. I think that is just something I felt like I needed to do before. I am trying to be that kind of steady person we need to have going into the (NCAA) tournament.

The meeting was significant. We were at a point in the season where we wanted the responsibility and needed to let coach know that, good or bad, we're making it our responsibility.
