Every possession was crucial. Every point, every missed cut. It was that kind of a game. It's nice to finally win here.
C. Vivian Stringer -
It is a much-anticipated game, and it is the last one. If you think about it, I do not think you could ask for anything better than that.

There is no question that Villanova is the team that we most dread to play. I'm glad we were able to be victorious, because they really wear you out.
C. Vivian Stringer -
There were so many things that were wrong (against West Virginia). We just have to re-define our roles a little, do what we have to do and how we can do it.
C. Vivian Stringer -
The two best teams in the Big East are Connecticut and Rutgers. What better situation could you want than to have this game played and be the last one? I don't think you could ask for anything better than that.
C. Vivian Stringer -
I thought we were excited in the beginning, running around like chickens with our necks cut off. I feel we settled down, I just wondered how far we were going to go before we settled down.
C. Vivian Stringer -
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.
C. Vivian Stringer -
It's the same issues. It's not that I didn't know we had posts that haven't shown up. This is bad. I felt we played selfish basketball. I thought we did not play very smart. Our rebounding was very lax; we did not play as if we had a purpose.

She really did change the game because we were not able to get a '55' defense. I thought the difference was her being able to extend the defense at full-court level.
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 -
It's a challenge and I'm anxious to see how we rise to that. It's one thing when you are hunting. It's another thing when you are hunted.
C. Vivian Stringer -
They're tournament-tested and play at the highest level. They're ready.
C. Vivian Stringer -
Kids don't play every second like it's their life. Those kinds of people are probably the ones who think that in the last seconds we're going to come back, or wait until we do this or do that, but they don't understand how quickly it escapes.
C. Vivian Stringer -
We would get in the gap and then kick it out 15 feet, and that's nice because you're sharing the ball. But what we were trying to do was put the game away earlier, so we understood how you do put a game away.

Essence takes great pleasure in creating zeros on anybody that she plays.
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 felt we had all the elements to seriously make a run. On the other hand, in years past we had far more depth and could have withstood more things. At the beginning of the year I felt we were flexible enough to pull this off, and throughout the Big East season there was no reason we shouldn't have been able to at least get back to the Elite Eight level and be a Final Four team.
C. Vivian Stringer -
It was nice to see them play free. It was one of the better games I've seen in a long time.
C. Vivian Stringer -
They are an NCAA team. They are a good young squad who deserve to go. The Big East should get eight or nine teams in.
C. Vivian Stringer -
We did not play. I don't know if we overlooked them, (but) there's no point in complaining about it. We deserved to lose. We should be going home and we will be going home in a couple of hours.

Everybody's coming to the same party. We're all here.
C. Vivian Stringer -
We've been getting progressively better which is good. We haven't been consistent. We've been up and down, but I'm more encouraged than discouraged. It's been an up and down year. We had a real fine game against DePaul and I can tell you I am looking forward to this game.
C. Vivian Stringer -
I mean, really. I knew they counted on our fans, but wow.
C. Vivian Stringer -
That girl is shooting over 50 percent from the floor. ... Anyone who has watched greatness has to know this girl is getting it done.
