She's our leader. When she plays well, we all play well. When she is off, we're all off.

She understands what has to be done for us to be successful. She takes charge of this team. It bothers her when we don't do what we're supposed to and she will get on the girls about it. But she does it in a way that the girls respect her for it.

It didn't help us. We cut it to four points, turn the ball over and they make a 3. Then we didn't answer and they hit another. No. 24 (Hackett) shot the lights out. She made a huge difference in the game.

We could have rebounded better today. We got out rebounded, especially on the offensive end. They had more second and third opportunities than we did first chances.

We were awake. But we were just ready to play the game, so I don't know if we were listening to what he was saying.

I have to give our kids credit for bowing up and making the play there at the end.
