Courtney Paris Quotations

She was so animated. It seemed like she made basketball more fun.

She's been talking all this madness about getting a car, and she didn't even have a license yet. The kid's silly.

She's always running her mouth. She's always got something to say.

She is just thorough. She can shoot from the left side, she is a big girl and she tried to post me up and you have to pay attention to that situation. She got a lot of opportunities and converted.

I think we'll be able to do a lot of special things if we're able to play like that. That's fun when everything is going well.

I think this year is about setting standards for what Oklahoma basketball is going to be about from now on. I hope that our program turns into one where we expect these things. That's what we're working for.

I remember thinking, 'Man, I want to be like her when I get older.

People have tried everything. From just single coverage, to full double teams, to staying back in a zone and to crashing down when I get the ball.

We're really good right now. But I think we have a chance to be really great.

Toward the second half of the season, teams have gotten a lot more physical. They did a good job, and I think that is a good strategy, but it was definitely a lot more physical than it has been.

I've never had anyone play so physical. I'm young, and it kind of threw me off. It got me riled up.

As a kid, that's really what it's about, big tournaments. I'm excited and a little bit overwhelmed.

This is probably one of those games where I thought less about my numbers and less about my game. It was emotional. Our seniors have meant so much to me. It was so hard, but so much fun to come out and play for them.

It's pretty weird to think that last year you're in high school, and now you get to college a few months later and you get to be with Ivory and all these other guys. It's humbling.

It was my first college road trip, and it's still the most hostile gym I've ever played in. They rallied after we built up a lead, and I definitely was rattled. I felt lucky to come out of there with a win. It wasn't pretty.

It's what we did all day, all summer. My brothers didn't take it easy on me. It's easy to be physical and have a physical nature now, because big brothers are probably the most physical people you go up against.

No trophy can sum up the feeling you get from what we've been through this year and what we've been able to accomplish.

I'm a big girl, and I'm scratched up. I feel like I was picked on.

I mean not even on the court. I mean growing up, meeting new people, taking a chance coming to Oklahoma, having the time of my life.

I need to be physical with her. She's a finesse post and she's really good. I need to push her out and make it difficult for her to catch the ball.

I hoped my freshman year would go like it has, but it's been better than I ever dreamed of. I'm just excited.

Before the game I started feeling like I was gagging. I had to throw up. I went to the back, got it taken care of, and when I came out it was gone.
