We want to try and shut down the inside game. We have to try and close the paint, which is what we tried to do all season, anyway.
We'd gotten the momentum back, but the thing is, in order to be even with them, we had to do some extraordinary things. How many of those do you have in you in a particular game?
They told us about it (in) the third quarter. That's why she was in in the fourth quarter. The level of player that she is, it's fitting. She deserves it. She's worked her tail off.
I think we have the talent to win if we play well.
I think they're going to be tough. That stuff we did during the regular season doesn't even matter. That's nothing. We expect nothing but a tight, nail-biting game that's going to go right down to the wire.
I didn't play (Baker) at all until the second half. The girls went out and went to work, and got up 10 points. I was just so happy with the way the other kids stepped up.
It's awesome. I'm just so happy for them. They're great.
We just didn't have as much reach on the boards. We had a couple of lapses where we didn't box out real well ... and that hurt us, too.
They wanted this. It's been a long time coming for them. These seniors have worked their tails off. We've been to North Carolina. We've been all over the place. They've paid the price, so it's kind of nice to see them get a little bit back.
My point guards, I've always tried to have them be vocal out there. That's her job. Who sees (the play) better than someone at the top of the whole thing?
