We came out strong at the beginning of the game and played to our strengths, which are rebounding and defense, but we didn’t bring the intensity tonight. I can’t wait until we play them again.

Having a better supporting cast is definitely making a difference. It’s just been an amazing year. The whole atmosphere is great because we’ve all stepped into our roles.

It’s nice to go home, and it’s a huge game so I’m very excited. We’re extremely happy to be where we are.

Our coaching staff had us prepared so well that I feel like we knew their plays better than ours.
