I haven't thought about last year at all. We've had to play as the defending champions all year and I don't think any team is going to be looking at us thinking that.

You could hear coach Chancellor on the sidelines calling her number, calling her play. She just did a great job.

It's not a matchup between Izzy and Sheryl,

We talk about it and we actually did it this time. When a player's out, you have to kind of forget about her in a way, you have to focus on who can play and go into the game with those players. But now that Betty's back I can definitely say honestly that we definitely missed her, and it was good to see her play the way she did, especially on her first time out.

What you gotta think about is what they're saying in their locker room. They need to jump on us. On our home court, they know how successful we are there and they know how huge the game is. It's do or die for them. It's even more important for us to come out and hopefully break their backs in the first 10 minutes.

That's a difference maker. She averaged 24 against us this season. She only had 15, but she can erupt for 40.
