I believe we can play with anybody.

As an outsider you hear about how much passion there is in the community, but until you're in the spot it's hard to imagine there's a community that cares more about girls basketball than this one. I embraced it. What more can you ask for? You have kids who want to get better, and I can't think of any better spots to be in.

I never thought about it when I took the job. You don't think that far ahead and think you're going to the Final Four. It is surprising at how quickly things came together.

I'm the new guy so, I didn't feel a lot of pressure. But I think the girls were feeling the weight of that pressure.

We could have had a European place with a half-decent finish. That's the most annoying thing.

We were a tight unit and didn't concede many goals. But I think we were realistic that we were never going to be in the top four for the rest of the season.
