I just went back in there and played hard. My main deal was keeping (Tiffany) Jackson away from the basket.

It felt good after a long break. It was nice to get everybody into the game. We're excited to be playing on our home court (tonight) for the championship.

It just shows we take a lot of pride in our defense. That's something we've been working at all year; if our offense isn't there, we've got to find some other way to win a game, and right now it's with our defense.

I thought I had the ball, and it got knocked away. I should have caught it.

When I fouled out (Tuesday), I told the guys to remember what happened in Austin. We can use that as momentum when we play OU, too. It was the Big 12 opener and they beat us at home. We remember that kind of stuff.

My teammates have surrounded me with such a good presence that they've really given me the opportunity to do what I did in these last two games and all season. I learned a lot about myself and my team during this tournament.
