Dawn Chriss Quotations

We're focused on N.C. State. The way we lost last year ...

I don't even think we unpacked our bags last year. We didn't want to lose. We wanted to go to the mall, look around a little, get some TV time in.

We made a vast improvement in our game plan. We were focused. We were ready to play. We're chipping away at this.

We had the mindset that we were going to play hard from the beginning. We were not going to get down by 20.

Everyone stepped up. Everyone knew we had to make up for it.

The worst was probably the one here at home. It was a great environment, and I just felt like if we were going to get to the sweet 16, it had to be that year. It was our time. ... It just felt like we were unstoppable.

That's what we do. We play defense, get the steal or the rebound and we're gone. I think it complements us.

This is the end of my career. I want to be known as a good player.

It's a great opportunity. We don't really have anything to lose.

I tried to let the game come to me, but sometimes that doesn't work for me. In the second half I was more aggressive. I tried to create stuff for myself and my teammates.

It was a good 'ah' though. They're not an unfamiliar team.
