I just treat it like any other game. The emotion itself is going to the Final Four I haven't been to one yet. That group hasn't been to one, either. For everybody it's going to be a really emotional game.

It?s bothering me a little bit, especially because no one has any answers. It?s bad when I don?t even know, but if you can?t ask anyone else just because there?s no knowledge about it, it is kind of frustrating.

It's definitely bothering us. No matter what we do, no matter who we beat, no matter that we won the Big East tournament, it doesn't matter. It's not going to be good enough. 'Oh, yeah, they were supposed to win, but they're not going to be able to do this ...' I don't know. It's what we signed up for so everyone's kind of expecting it. We've just got to go with the flow.

This game was actually the best game that we've gotten down and then we've come back up and closed it out. We haven't done that all season and it feels really good to do it. We were really patient the last three or four minutes of the game and everyone came together.

Coach knows best, but I?m hoping he?s not right.

One day it will be great, and other days it will be weak. I just have to monitor myself, which is hard because you want to be there for your team, but at the same time you have to think long-term.

We weren't looking past this game, but we were also looking forward to playing Rutgers. It's not like we're looking past West Virginia, either. Clearly, they are good enough. ... But I feel we're a lot more experienced and that will carry over.

You just have to feed off her energy and feed off what she does.

I was always in CD?s office. CD?s like my mom away from home. No matter how much she makes you mad or no matter how much we make her mad the next day, or the next five minutes even, she?s talking to you and joking around with you. I think that?s really important because then you know it?s not all about basketball.

I think a lot of people play better when the expectations are higher. I think when you have just an open field and you can do what you want, you probably aren't pushed as much. At least that's how it is for me.
