Jessica Davenport Quotations

I think that anybody that is with this program, the players and coaches, know that I've expanded my game this year and I've gotten better.

We'll make sure to take care of our business. I think we're a lot better. We're more diverse and a lot more experienced. Just about everybody here went through that loss last year (in overtime to Minnesota in the semifinals). We're going in with a chip on our shoulders.

I hit some shots and then the outside game began clicking. They really had to respect our outside shooters, and it really opened it up inside for me.

Our outside game was really clicking, so they had to stretch the defense out and respect our 3-point shooting, and it opened it up in the middle for me.

My ability in shot blocking and Debbie?s ability to take charges, I think it really made them think twice about coming into the paint. I think our guards did a good job of making sure their three-point shooters did get a lot of shots.

You expect that they?re always going to come out tough. You can see the frustration on the faces of the players whenever they don?t do something right. We lost in the last second at their court last year, and when I think back on it, I can smile because it was a great game. The emotions run high.

Clamp down on defense. We switched to a zone and got them to stand still, and on the offensive end we started to move the ball well. I think that made the separation for us.

I think the X-factor for them in this game was the shooter Dorsey. I think she scored three points the last game. This game she had a lot. That was pretty much the X-factor.

I think the x-factor for (BC) in this game was the shooter, Dorsey.

Our game plan is going to stay the same. We really don?t know what they?re going to do. We just have to make sure that we do what we have to do.
