Brittany Hunter Quotations

We're getting better and it's been a gradual (process) and it's been obvious to us. It's one thing if coach says we're getting better and we're getting better and no one notices it. But as a group, we realize we are getting better at this, this and this. People are stepping up. It's not always consistent. Some people will falter, but as a group, in general in practices and in games, everyone is slowly coming together.

I feel like that?s just going to be Ann. Ann?s just going to say she?s fine all the time. You want to say, ?Ann you?re (kidding) me right now,? but she will never admit it.

I think in this setting it's a little odd because I haven't seem them in basketball gear in a while.

I think when we set goals like that, everyone focuses on them. Keep them under 55 and the offense will take care of itself.

I think a lot of people play better when the expectations are higher. I think when you have just an open field and you can do what you want, you probably aren't pushed as much. At least that's how it is for me.

I was always in CD?s office. CD?s like my mom away from home. No matter how much she makes you mad or no matter how much we make her mad the next day, or the next five minutes even, she?s talking to you and joking around with you. I think that?s really important because then you know it?s not all about basketball.

You just have to feed off her energy and feed off what she does.

We weren't looking past this game, but we were also looking forward to playing Rutgers. It's not like we're looking past West Virginia, either. Clearly, they are good enough. ... But I feel we're a lot more experienced and that will carry over.

One day it will be great, and other days it will be weak. I just have to monitor myself, which is hard because you want to be there for your team, but at the same time you have to think long-term.

Coach knows best, but I?m hoping he?s not right.

This game was actually the best game that we've gotten down and then we've come back up and closed it out. We haven't done that all season and it feels really good to do it. We were really patient the last three or four minutes of the game and everyone came together.

It's definitely bothering us. No matter what we do, no matter who we beat, no matter that we won the Big East tournament, it doesn't matter. It's not going to be good enough. 'Oh, yeah, they were supposed to win, but they're not going to be able to do this ...' I don't know. It's what we signed up for so everyone's kind of expecting it. We've just got to go with the flow.

It?s bothering me a little bit, especially because no one has any answers. It?s bad when I don?t even know, but if you can?t ask anyone else just because there?s no knowledge about it, it is kind of frustrating.

I just treat it like any other game. The emotion itself is going to the Final Four I haven't been to one yet. That group hasn't been to one, either. For everybody it's going to be a really emotional game.
