We knew it would be a tough game. At this point, we know each other's tendencies. At halftime, I told them we have to go and step it up. We had to come out and play with confidence. They just had to do what we've been telling them to do all year.

Nicole put some pressure on herself tonight and things weren't falling for her, but she still was able to put up good numbers. The kids came off the bench and really contributed for us, which is exactly what I expect. When they come in, they have to contribute.

I expected a close game and was surprised when we were up by so much. They played some smart basketball and we got a little tense. We haven't been in a close game in quite some time and they hit some nice shots.

I don't know, I've never gotten off to one. It's a long, long, long year. It's definitely nice.

I'm going to give this everything I've got, go at it full force. I expect to go out and have a great season. When I'm back next year and I don't have that feeling, I'll go home. And no one will have to tell me. I'll know. I'll go home.

A plan without action is not a plan. It's a speech.
