Ann Strother Playing Quotations

She?s unbelievably important. I think everyone has their little role that they play and she?s got a pretty big role and she?s doing a great job. She?s playing with the most confidence that she could ever have and I think that?s something that we all feed off.

Maybe it was them playing four days in a row and us playing three games in a row; I don't know. I guess it was just one of those nights.

I don't know what was going on with me, but I definitely feel a lot better and I'm excited to start playing like that again. It's kind like freshman year. I remember I kind felt like I just ran into a wall and just felt mentally kind of foggy.

I think we?re all realizing that it?s the culmination of our last regular season. This is the time where every senior in the past had to step up and make things happen; (Will?s) been playing like crunch time for the past couple games.

It was a little frustrating because it was unexpected. Nobody really felt that we were going to go into this game playing as poorly as we did. There's no way to explain it. It's just an off night.

It's definitely different having to go somewhere for the first time, not being at home for the first two games. But that's kind of exciting, too. No matter where you play, no matter who you're playing against, it's tournament time and that's always fun.

It's being more mature and not kind of playing street ball or throwing it around or being careless with it. That's a good sign.

Not playing wasn't going to happen. It's one of things that you have to take care of, but it's not a big deal.

I'm really excited because I felt D made me a better player. When I played with her, I felt like I was playing at the best of my abilities. To get a chance to play with somebody who makes you better is going to be just a great, great opportunity for me.
