You know she wanted to be in there, she wants to do something to help her teammates out. That probably won't leave her head, that she wasn't in at the end of the game to help us out.

I don't think we all were up to the challenge of just being able to tell each other how we feel or what needed to be done in order to get the win. It was just like, 'Hey, if it happens and we win, then we win.' And I think this year it's just like, 'Hey, this is what we need to do.' I think you have to come into your leadership role. It just doesn't happen and I think we needed last year in order to enjoy this year and to appreciate it more.

I don't want to say it like that, but it just so happens it plays out like that. It probably is something that triggers inside of me just knowing that right now is when it all counts.

I offset them. Sometimes they're all the way up here and if I'm right here I bring them down a notch to an even keel. So you just have to have me. If they didn't have me they wouldn't be who they are. You need somebody who's emotional because you think about other people when you're emotional. You put other people's feelings into regards. I think about them more than I think about myself and I help them out.

I'm glad they set it up just like that. And knowing that if we do what we need to do, we can win it all. So that's a good thing. When you play a team like Rutgers, who is obviously good, if we can beat them on their home floor it will say something about us.

It was hard! Oh, my God. I was trying to laugh, anything I could. I looked at my mom, I looked at Ann, and I was, 'Nope, look at the floor, please don't start crying,' because I can cry at the drop of a dime. To know I made it through the night is a good thing.

No. I want to get them down there.

It's been hard for him this season. But I think when he looks back and he realizes what he has done with this group, I think it will all be worth it.

Take her home. We talked about that a long time ago. This is Nicole's chance, so we have to get her there. Obviously, you want to go out on top. We all talk about it, even before we became seniors. You want to go out with a national championship, and we know what we need to do in order for that to happen.

You never want it to end. Just knowing all the memories we have with this team, it's sad. But ... it's good that we came out and did what we needed to do to get the win. If we keep doing what we're supposed to do, we'll have a good memory at the end.
