Sophia Young Quotations

We've always been the underdog, and it's the kind of the position we expect to be in.

We've been in situations like that before. We knew we had to keep our composure and not let the game get out of control.

The fact that she has multiple moves makes her difficult to guard. She used her up-and-under quite a bit. We fell for her fakes a lot.

Last year we were kind of the underdog. This year, since we won the NCAA championship, we've got that target on our shoulders.

She's just a great player. She uses her body well and knows how to score. (For a freshman) she has come in and dominated the post.

She saw what she saw. I didn't do anything spectacular. I think the coach worked on some drills focusing on me a little bit more while she was there, but I didn't do anything spectacular.

She's a good post player, and she has good post moves. I think the fact that she has multiple moves, that makes her difficult to guard.

I don't even know about any records or anything until someone in media relations tells me about it. I really don't think about stuff like that.

My shot wasn't falling. I was just fading away too much.

I was hoping that it would go this way. I'm kind of still close to home, and there is a lot of support in the state.

You are automatically a target on everyone's schedule. We get everybody's best shot every time.

We're not the same team as we were last year. But I think we have the same exciting feeling and the same energy.

To be playing with her instead of against her, that's a good thing.

To be named as one of the top five players in the country is amazing. It is a tremendous accomplishment and I feel extremely blessed.

We as seniors had never won here. We know what it's like to be in games like this. I was just open and my teammates did a good job getting me the ball.

Everything was different here in the states. I had to adjust to everything, the language, food, the customs, I almost had to change everything about myself.

There's not really much to elaborate on. We just wanted to get a shot at them, and we're finally getting that chance.

It was very difficult to win a national championship. It's even more difficult to win it two years in a row. Everybody has you as their target on their schedule. That's what we've taken all year, everybody's best shot.

I wanted the ball because I felt like the game was getting out of control.

Coach always tells us to keep a cool head in a hot game.

This game means a lot because we're trying to win a tournament. I guess we're all excited because we played so well tonight. I thought everybody stepped up.

This game gave us another shot at Oklahoma. I think coming into this tournament, that's what we were really hoping for. We just wanted to get a shot at them, and we're finally getting that chance.

It was my worst offensive game ever. I was getting a little bit frustrated. Not anything they were doing, it was just me not hitting shots.

It was pretty emotional. It hasn't really sunk in yet that it's our last game here. I had a great four years here.

Not really. I would say coming into college I never thought I could even compete at first. I knew I just had to keep working extremely hard.

I knew from the scouting report that they were going to double team me. So I had to look for the rest of my team whenever they did.

I'm truly blessed. It's an honor. I just go out there and have fun. I enjoy playing basketball.

I didn't know (Houston-San Antonio) was a rivalry, but if it is, I think it's going to be fun. The first time we play them, I'll see what it's like.
