Mistie Williams Quotations

We know we have lost incredible players. But we still have incredible players, (players) ready to fight, ready to win.

We have had to work on our defense so much this season, because we are such an offense-minded team. As the season went on, we realized that that work on our defense was really going to help us. It did tonight.

Losing to Carolina and then to Maryland was tough for us, but it came at the right time.

She's in your brain before the game even starts.

I think anybody who saw that game should be intimidated. It just shows the type of team we are very capable of being. I hope every team we played is a little more worried after watching a game like that.

I think the ACC is really making a statement for women's basketball, not just UNC and Duke. Usually it's the SEC that's getting all the love because they have Tennessee and they have national championships. The ACC's creeping up here.

It definitely restores our confidence. It was just our time for those losses and we learned from it. We're positive with one another and it's showing in the tournament.

We worked so hard throughout the season on our defense because we were so offensive minded in the beginning of the year. As the season went on, we knew defense would help us win games.

We worked so hard on our defense. As the season went on, we knew our defense would be what would win us games late in the season.

We learned from it, we were positive with one another, and it's showing.

We need to focus that much more (in the tournament) and I don't think we were successful in doing that. We have to just learn from this game and move on and be ready to play.

We just kind of have to learn from this game and move on to the next one. Just focus more than being so anxious and be ready to play.

We just really had to come back and kind of bring everything back and just collect and just kind of reflect on what we could have done better and how we were going to change it. I think that two-week span where we didn't play, we really just concentrated on how we're going to beat any team that we would face in this tournament.

Brittany had a really close relationship with her teammates. Just seeing her there, she had a great time. She's in a lot of pictures and it was fun.

That game was one of the greatest I've ever played in, if not in women's basketball, period. That happened in the past. Their team is different this year, and so is ours. It's a different game.

They started double-teaming me and there's not a whole lot you can do when you're double-teamed.

They had to let their fans know, and let themselves know, they're a better team than (at Tennessee).

This is the most fun we've had with one another. That makes us even more motivated to win for each other.

It's always nice to be No. 1, but the something that we're really striving for is to be No. 1 at the end of the season. That's really all that matters. We're really just focused on conference play right now.

It may have looked easy, but it wasn't. We had to work hard, and there were definitely points in the game that we could improve on.

It's got some history for us. I'm looking forward to playing there.

It's great to see her. Her and I were pretty close, I think, when we were at school. She's a great person, tremendous personality. I love her. I couldn't tell you what she feels right now, but I hope she does well.

They just took advantage of our weaknesses. We didn't really have a true point guard. Not having Lindsey was a big empty spot for us.

I'm looking forward to playing there. ? Home advantage is whatever team wants it more and is going to play harder.

I think Ali's going to have to play real big in this game coming off the bench. You should always make sure you come off the bench with a lot of aggression. In past games she's been amazing. She's always the poster child in blocking shots, so I definitely think that's going to be a big thing.
