She's great; she's like the post player we've been missing all along. She's got size, good hands, good foot work, nice touch.

Everybody came to play. It was a total team effort, and everybody stepped up. It was just that home-court advantage. You don't want anybody to come on your turf and beat you.

We learned that you can't come out half-stepping. You have to step up as soon as the ball goes up in the air until the last buzzer goes off.

I love it. You can look right at the other team; it gives you that competitiveness. I love the way it's set up.

She's one strong woman. If it were me, I'd be mad at the world. I don't know how she can go through what she's been through and still have a smile on her face.
