We just take it personally. This girl is the leading scorer in the country and you don't want her to score. Everywhere she goes, that's all we were thinking: She's not getting the ball.

I think coach always challenges you when you're not doing well and I think she just took the challenge and came out and played really well. When Renee plays well it just carries our whole team, and especially when she gets after it defensively and she pushes the ball it just brings our team to a whole other level.
I think we needed that. We were just playing with them the whole game, we had to break away at some point.
They came out and played really hard. They definitely outworked us on the boards.
I just came out ready to shoot. I just found myself open a lot and I just came in knowing that I needed to contribute. It was nice. My confidence hasn't been down or anything, but it's always good to have good nights. It helps a lot.
We just have to play 20 minutes and follow it up with another 20 minutes in the second half.
Coach was not happy with us. He told us we just need to flush this (game) down the toilet and forget about it.
Taking her out of her game makes their team struggle a lot more.
