It's kind of like a revenge thing. Yeah, we beat them twice in a row, but they beat us last. We want to get that back. It worked out perfectly with this being the last game of the year. I think it will be a great game.

You can't really go by that going into this game, because that was so early in the season. I know we've changed as a team, and I know they have as well.

I didn't think we'd shut her out in the first half; she's a great player. We wanted to make her work really hard so she'd wear down.

I don't think I realized how big the Final Four was. I just kind of assumed that I would get here every year because that's just all I knew. I was really tense and really nervous in the game because I didn't feel like I had full control of things. I was just a freshman, and I didn't know what I was doing in a way.

After that, I'll know everything. To be completely honest with you, I know about Tennessee because they talk about them all the time, I know about UNC because we play them all the time. Other than that -- we just played Wake Forest and I knew they liked to shoot a lot, but other than that, not much.

They went on a run, but we had to calm down and figure out what would work for us. We started going back inside.

I wanted to win it for Coach G. I get tired of people saying she can't win the big one and this and that. When it came down to the final, it was us as players. We were the ones who had to execute. She had us well prepared.

That's our strength. We didn't have many fast-break points that I can remember in the first half. We had to take advantage of our transition game. That's where we score a lot. Coach told us at halftime we have so much depth and we have to play hard enough to use it.

It's really disappointing to not make it to the finals and not have a chance to win it. We all felt that this was our tournament.

I tried not to let her touch the ball. I was trying to follow her and deny her the ball. The only thing that was open was the back door but they didn't look for that.
