Offensively we were not making the extra pass and not getting a nice, smooth transition look. We were not attacking or executing our patterns. It wasn't Villanova. It's just the way we play.

It was great to see our team execute. We really moved the ball, we got good shots and we were looking for each other. It was one of the better games I've seen in a long time, and it can't come at a better time than now.

They have been a joke with regards to the selection. I didn't say that earlier because I thought I'd get sent to Alaska and they don't have a regional there.

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.

Every game we have a period of time when we slack. We grab teams by the neck and choke them until they can't breathe. Then we start relaxing and my blood pressure goes up.

Anybody can distribute the ball, but what she wants to do is know how to break zones and how you can handle things. I think she wants to go to the next step, understanding that you can't play the same way. I think her improvement is simply a result of a year of reflection.

I don't like being scored on, to be honest with you. I'd rather beat you 21-3 than 100-75, because I just don't like being scored on.

I thought Essence had a lot more points. She seemed more active.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
That kid was getting open looks for that shot. As a team, we usually play extremely well getting out on the 3.

Essence's job was to keep Duffy quiet. When Duffy scored it was against somebody else.

I wish we could get a little more out of her offensively, and I think it's going to come.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
She seems to see the game slow down, no matter how fast she's moving. She's very good at taking the game apart and not taking bad shots. And when she's going to make things happen, she carries that 'ain't nobody going to stop me' attitude.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
I really want this for her. I can't imagine me wanting something more personally as I want her to get this award.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
I think I've addressed it adequately that it's not going to get a chance to get like that, because I'll stop it real quick. It's not going to happen again. I can control that.

I thought West Virginia really deserved this win. I think their team clearly wanted it more. They worked hard from the beginning. I think they played with a great deal of heart and determination.

When I looked in the faces of the senior class, this is the class as freshman that had nine wins and 20 losses. People gave up on us, but they (the seniors) didn't.

-
I thought we sputtered and I thought we did not make the extra pass. We played selfish basketball today, and I thought we played not smart.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
They are really just special young ladies. They're daughters. They're great daughters. It felt good today. It felt good to see them smile.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
I feel much better, and I thought this was a real test. This was the first real test where somebody came that was legitimate, not going to back down, and demonstrated that they play the same game all the time. So, it was nice to see that.

I think if you were a gambler and you had a million dollars, you should have gone to Las Vegas and bet a million dollars that Tennessee and Rutgers would meet in the NCAA tournament.

She is one of a dying breed. I love her very much.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
There is no question that Villanova is the team we most dread to play. I am so grateful to get that game over.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
I went off. They were unforced turnovers, too.
C. Vivian Stringer
-
We start off pretty fast, but now we've got to be able to maintain. It won't get a chance to get like that, because I will not let that happen again.
