-
Beat Quotes
We needed all the breaks this game for us to beat Rutgers and we got them. We'll take them every time we can get them. I'm just so proud of the girls. We were coming off a tough season. We lost eight in a row after Meg went down and we really couldn't find our identity. But right now I've never been prouder of a group of girls to really regroup and do the things they've done here in this tournament.

Balls Quotes
Some balls bounced our way. Let's face it, Rutgers is a great team. They won 16 league games in a row. If we played them 10 times, they would win nine. I think they overlooked us a little bit thinking about playing Connecticut in the final. But Rutgers won't be in the final. I don't know if this all has hit me yet.
-
Aggressive Quotes
I don't know what to say. We really wanted to pinch off their penetration. We thought our 2-3 zone was really going to make them shoot over the top of us and just pray they miss some of them. We were very aggressive going after the basketball and we got some breaks. And that's what we needed. We needed all the breaks in this game to beat Rutgers and we got 'em.

Among Quotes
It is a great honor to be named the 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year from our great state, ... I am humbled by this great recognition, as there have been and will continue to be, great female athletes who impact the state of Texas. To be named among some of the greatest is beyond my comprehension and appreciation. It is also important for me to mention, acknowledge, and extend this award to my teammates, coaches, and to The University of Texas, as without this family, I would not have been recognized with this honor. Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to my mom (Debbie Carey) and my dad (Mike Carey), as the two of them are truly my heart.

Aggressive Quotes
We played them earlier in the year and we were tied at 20 by the half. We played that zone, but we gave up a lot of penetration. We can see that it did bother them, so we just tried to tighten it up and don't go out on their non-shooters. You can't do that unless you rebound. I thought that was the key. We were very aggressive getting some loose balls.

Hands Quotes
You use the word "Infinity" very glibly.... Have you ever been there? Time and space are extensions of the mind, the will. Which means that infinity is a purely local phenomenon. You can turn over a stone and find it crawling there. Or you can make it yourself out of whatever materials are at hand.
-
Lying Quotes
They used to call the devil the father of lies. But for someone whose sin is meant to be pride, you'd think that lying would leave something of a sour taste. So my theory is that when the devil wants to get something out of you, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to hell.

Kids Quotes
Happy Families. What's that all about, eh? A bloody busted flush is what it is. You surround yourself with other people so the night doesn't seem quite so dark. Shout down the sound of the wind with arguments about whose turn it is to wash the dishes. Best not to kid yourself. Best not to give any hostages to fortune. You're on your own in the end. Always. Where else would you want to be?
