You have to make strong moves around her, and I was able to do that. The game plan was great. Coach put us in a position to win this game.
My teammates have surrounded me with such a good presence that they've really given me the opportunity to do what I did in these last two games and all season. I learned a lot about myself and my team during this tournament.
I didn't want it to end like this. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to my friends.
When I fouled out (Tuesday), I told the guys to remember what happened in Austin. We can use that as momentum when we play OU, too. It was the Big 12 opener and they beat us at home. We remember that kind of stuff.
It's huge. For me, it's playing in my home state. But, right now, we have to find a way to bounce back.
It's huge being a part of this program and you want to extend it as long as you can, whether it's another five minutes or another five games. I want to play until the end of March.
It just shows we take a lot of pride in our defense. That's something we've been working at all year; if our offense isn't there, we've got to find some other way to win a game, and right now it's with our defense.
Those first four minutes for us is big. When you dig that big of a hole, you work your whole way to get back, and you're gassed by that time.
We need to be more motivated than ever. We want to finish our season strong going into the Big 12 tournament and the postseason tournament. We can't let that one game crush the rest of our hopes.
We still had time to win the game. It was a shot to the heart, but we still had something left.
