Our inexperience showed. That is something we have to work on if we want to be an NCAA team or a competitor in the Big East.

I wanted to be a part of a team I could help build. I felt I could really contribute and help put the school on the map.

It's been crazy since the Big East Tournament. After that loss we didn't feel secure. It's been hectic, a little crazy, a little restless, but it was worth the wait.

Jess is so smooth and quiet, I hardly know she's scoring that many points. We know she's going to go out and get hers, regardless. She deserves that because she works for it.

We've had problems putting away teams in the second half. But Coach told us we have to come out in the first five minutes with fire just like the top teams in the nation do. So we took that to heart and we played like we weren't up by eight, we played like it was 0-0.

It's hard losing, especially some of those games we should've won. But we sat and talked about what we needed to do. We focused, did what we had to do, and it paid off.
