When we play games against top-10 programs and in the NCAA Tournament, she's the type of player who's going to step up and shine and take us to another level. That's how much talent she has.

When she stepped on the floor, her game went to another level in terms of intensity with a little more focus.

This was kind of a hard one to take. I don't think we saw it coming. I thought we were ready to play.
