Natalie Jones Quotations

She wanted to go the WNBA. She wanted to help her family out.

She's a very good point guard. She's going to be very great in her years coming.

She just penetrated and dished. She played how a point guard should play. It was something we knew she was capable of doing.

I was going to leave it all out on the court. That's the mentality I had for this game.

To come out with this win gives us so much confidence before we head out on the road to face Cal and Stanford.

I think us fouling them down low and us being behind their post players got them back in the game. We were making silly fouls. We weren't being smart underneath tonight.

I think that (setting the goals) was very important, because it also had our minds set up what we needed to do. That's what helped the team out a lot because we were able to focus on that and focus on us rather than just focusing on Oregon.

Part of it was turnovers and our communication in not talking to each other.

It feels like we just won the Pac-10 championship.

We played with seven people and everyone played with heart. Even though we had (only) seven players, we stepped up at the right time.

UCLA has three great guards (Noelle Quinn, Lisa Willis and Nikki Blue). They play well together.

When she didn't come through the door, I was sad, angry and confused. It's so hard to say goodbye.

This was kinda embarrassing. It's sad to look at that score. We can play better.

We weren't taking bad shots. We weren't connecting on them.

We talked about going down and getting a good possession. We knew if we got the ball we had to come down and capitalize quickly. It was a set screen and roll off. It was a good shot. I trust Ashley and all my teammates.

We were playing hard and we never gave up. That's something we've been doing even though we've lost these last couple of games. We never gave up. We kept fighting.

At home, this is kind of like your 'house' and when other teams come in and beat you, you take it more personal.

It shows us what we're capable of doing for our upcoming games.

That's something that Coach B wants, to be able to put someone in ... and have her be confident in herself.

It was like a rollercoaster game - we were up, they were up, and it was frustrating at the end when you look at the score and you're not the team that won.
