He's right, she is our key. She understands her role very well, but she's also a scorer. She was a little frustrated in the first half, but she scored better in the second half.

I'll take our chances any time in a one-game series.

They are very athletic kids who make it pretty easy to coach. But I didn't have any big kids for over 15 years, so I was overdue.

It's not even the same kid as last year. Her skills ... her decisions ... it's been an unbelievable progression.

It's not as hard as everybody thinks -- honest. They know our personnel. We know their personnel. From the aspect of preparing for somebody, now I'm going to watch the tape of whoever won that eastern final, but watching the tape and seeing them in person are two different things.

It's such a luxury to have girls like the Novacek girls who can catch the ball in the post and move the way they can.

It is such a luxury to have girls like the Novacek girls who can catch the ball in the post and move the way they can. A lot of times you get a girl in there who is big, but not very agile. I can't tell you how much easier it makes my job that those two are athletic on the inside.

This is the most level-headed group of girls I've ever been around.

They do a great job. They have great hands. They catch and finish.
