All season long, this team has played with a chip on their shoulder, and I really felt like they had to fight for respect every step of the way. They made a lot of believers tonight. To be able to continue taking steps with this team -- I think people can see now what makes this group so special.

All season long this team has played with a chip on their shoulder. They keep taking us for a heck of a ride. It was a tremendous game from both teams and the game plan was to hold North Carolina in the 70s.

These kids have shown time in and time out that they belong here. From the moment they stepped on campus they have shown they had a big picture, one goal. And they're one step from achieving that goal.

I'd say, really, late January or early February is when we got our rotation down. I think the most exciting thing about Marissa and Kristi is they haven't played or acted like freshmen.

I didn't have to say a word to them before overtime. They know it's their time. They played with so much confidence.

I just knew they were special players. They had all the heart and obviously all the physical abilities to be two dominant and prominent players.

I'll tell you, all season long this team's been playing with a chip on their shoulder, and I really felt like they have had to fight for respect every step of the way. I'll tell you, they got a lot of believers after tonight and the performance they put on.

I liked our poise down the stretch. We hit some big shots when we needed to, especially in a game where we were a little out of sync tonight.

I love it when the media continues to hype up the Carolina schools. This team is motivated by any challenge you give them, and they definitely responded.

This is just going to help us. Our kids our disappointed. They believed they could come in here and win this game.
