That last game gave us motivation for the tournament. We wanted to play Ohio State and go at 'em again. Now we do.

I think the last game of the season has motivated us for this. We had it in our heads that we were going to play Ohio State. We wanted to go at them again for a third time.

Coming in this summer was such a great way to prepare us for the season. It was getting to know each other, understanding each other's games, realizing what they can do with the ball and what they can't, how they can run the floor. Just simple things like that have really helped so far.

Losing this way and having this kind of season just motivates us.

We were saying how much confidence we have in each other and how we know we can do it together. ... By working together and seeing how well we played against Ohio State, I think we can make a run.

She knows what it takes. She gives me advice while we're playing.
