I just want her to play the game under control. And for her, it's much different from any player I've ever coached in that she can be flat-footed and go up and dunk. So it's not like things have to be perfect in her basketball world for her to dunk. If she goes up inside and dunks it, more power to her.

It was very apparent that Duke wanted this game and they went after it in a much more aggressive, determined way than we did.
