No, I couldn't have written it any better. I knew this was a good opportunity when I came here, but you never know how it's going to turn out.

I've got one already, ... It was just something for us to unite together and to show everybody that we are going to stick together, no matter what.

They've kept us focused, told us never to take anything for granted. As young players, you don't know when you are going to get back to this, so we've got to be ready to play.

That's been the story all season long - team effort, ... It gets the job done.

It's better than any individual goal. It's always nice to win accolades, but it's not the same as winning a championship. We really are the best team in the world, at least right now.

I got a lot of e-mails from friends at school, text messages and stuff. It's nice to know people are keeping up.

It hasn't really hit me yet. Right now, it just feels like I have a big game. But a lot of people aren't playing now, and we've got a week left. I just can't believe where I am now compared to where I was last year.

That was too close for comfort, ... That was most definitely the biggest shot for me as a professional basketball player.

Awesome, awesome. I'm not surprised, I knew she was gonna come in here and ball.
