Shona Thorburn Quotations

I really think I'm going to a team that I can contribute to, learn a lot from and just have a good time and win some basketball games.

I just hope they don't boo. But it would be awesome to have all those fans behind you. We've never had anything like that. It always amazes me to play in The Pit and see all those fans.

How many assists do I have, 600 or something? I think 590 were to her. I think Kim and I have a very good playing relationship. We have a knack for knowing where each other will be. She knows I'm going to try to throw her the ball. She's expecting them from me. She's an amazing cutter and obviously a great shooter.

Taking care of the ball is very important, and from what we've seen they've caused quite a few turnovers and trouble for other teams. It's going to be key for us to take care of the ball against the full-court press that they're likely to put on.

We've never been there before so I'm not sure what it feels like to be there. We started conference play 0-2 and things weren't looking good. We've come so far since January as a team and individuals.

Kim can score from anywhere. She gets a lot of attention but can still shake off double teams to make huge shots. I set the school record for assists and most of them have to be to her. If you get her the ball, she finishes.

We were so excited backstage. Yeah, it did feel kind of like Academy Awards night.

We'll need to take care of the ball. Collectively, they're good at team defense and creating turnovers.

I'm really excited about what I see, and who I have around me. We have a good base and understanding of what we are doing. We might be young, but we are educated and have a lot of game behind us.

As a senior it's crazy how fast the games and your career go by. We're playing every game like it's our last, so this one will be a dog fight. We're not going to give up.
