Kristi Toliver Game Quotations

We knew we had to play better defense because most of our shots weren't falling. It was a different kind of game for us, but I think we showed why we deserve to win it all.

We just proved to the country that we should be the No. 1 team. We proved to everyone - other than the 12 percent that said we could win this game - that we're capable of beating North Carolina and that we're a great team.

I couldn't eat or drink anything all day. I was pretty dehydrated, but I knew this was no time to be sick. My legs still felt pretty wobbly when the game started, but I knew I had to step up my game.

This time around, we're not going to get in foul trouble, so it should be a lot closer, a lot more competitive game down the stretch.

It was crazy. Biggest game of my career on the biggest stage in college basketball, it was a lot of fun, and I tried to enjoy every moment.
