“We had to come out strong, just like we did every game in this tournament. Everybody on our team is inspired; we play to have fun, and that's what we're doing out here.”
“We came out a little lackadaisical in this game. They came at us hard. We had a bull's-eye on our back and they were just sticking it to us. We just had to come out strong in the fourth quarter. That's what we had to do to get the win.”
“I was in foul trouble and looked for my teammates to carry the load early in the game. But in the fourth quarter, I knew we had to pick up the intensity and come out strong.”
“We didn't take them lightly, but we just didn't come out as pumped up as we do every game. I think we came out a little soft, but we picked it up in the second half. We just had to get the win any way we could.”
