C. Vivian Stringer Quotes

-
It's about that killer instinct, the great teams have that and we need to look for it. We need to teach our team that killer instinct.

I came to Rutgers to try to build Rutgers to become the jewel of the East. I really think a lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the East. I don't know where you're going to get 'jewel' when you are undiscovered and unpolished. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the East. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.
-
I think Connecticut, if I'm not mistaken, is still ranked above us, aren't they? I think it's in all the polls. I'm not aware of us being ranked over Connecticut. The win we had against them didn't matter much. Connecticut still holds a long history over the Knights. One game for us isn't going to make us the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite, no doubt about it.

I suspect if we continue to work hard, we can continue to hopefully prove ourselves worthy.

The kid that showed up (Maddox), that's incredible. I mean, she wasn't even on our radar. It's kind of interesting with us.

I am so personally hurt with losses. I really am an elephant like that. I don't forget. I can still feel the pain and sting of it (last year's loss to Tennessee). So when you consider the length of the season and when you can be a little tired, I am not. I am just fueled by what could have been.
-
I think that because Connecticut represents national champions, people should not get confused about what Connecticut is. Connecticut is a national power. They have been defending national champions. What makes Connecticut great is because they represent such greatness and accomplishment. So (a win) would say a lot.
