We definitely feel like it's a compliment to our conference.

I felt like regardless of whether I start or come off the bench, I just try and bring the same intensity, the same emotion when I get in there. I give whatever Coach G wants me to give her -- and my teammates.

It took a lot of pressure off us. We are looking at her like, 'Are you serious?' I feel like the entire season, the team has felt a sense of confidence as a result of her relaxed demeanor.
