This year she's had to do it all. She's had to be the leading scorer. She's had to be the leader. She's had to be the one whose out there all the time.

I've beaten her 43 to 44 because she hasn't played in eight months and I've been playing every day. I have to pick my spots and try to get in her head.

I don't really want to think about it. I really don't. I cringe when I think about next year without her.

She takes it all in stride. That's her job and she's very accountable. If we don't win, she finds a reason, what she could have done better to help us win. She never blames anyone else. She always keeps them upbeat.

I just think it's better for the team to know they have to look at one person on the floor. I have that much respect for her.

We had a lot of people contribute, a lot of people play well. Everybody has to feel pretty confident that we can beat a ranked team.

She's such a great leader for our team. She carried us at times during the year. She is the one that motivates them and gets them in the right spots. She does everything she can to help us win. She is the consummate team player.

That finish at Cincinnati was huge in a lot of ways in terms of confidence and in terms of keeping our hopes alive. Because I don't think we would have gone if we had lost that game.
