You know there are going to be Cinderella stories, but you just don't know which teams.

We studied many different versions of classic fairy tales from different cultures around the world. We took stories like Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood and studied at least five versions of each so the students could compare and contrast them.

We felt we had to jump on them early. They were a Cinderella team, and I told them the longer you let them hang around, the more things could go in their favor. We had to get out and squash them.

I thought our defensive effort tonight was outstanding. If we can play defense like that, we can make a Cinderella run here.

I thought our defensive effort tonight was outstanding. Next week's going to be tough, but if we defend like that and make people uncomfortable, we can make a Cinderella run here, without a doubt.

We consider ourselves a Cinderella team. But we know we can play with anybody.

I think we're a Cinderella team, but I think we're just as good as any team out there.

Everybody wanted to see us lose. We just had to make the Cinderella story a different outcome than all the ones in the movies.

I was very touched, and very happy that Kelly won. It was such a Cinderella story.

I told the girls before the game that it would not be our offense that would win the game, it would be our defense. It is like a Cinderella year for us and the girls really deserve it.
