This one hurts a lot worse. This was right down to the wire -- one possession. As far as we've come, this is really emotional.

She quickly got over that. I respect her game, too. She plays really hard.

At the beginning of the year, having me at the '1' was better for our team, and now our team is better with me at the '2'. It takes awhile to get adjusted to college basketball and we all knew that if Ros could get secure, I wouldn't be (at point guard) all year.

We're doing all the hard things but we're not doing all the easy things. We need to rebound, play with heart and intensity. We can't just be a 20-minute team.

There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.

We are making improvements every day, every practice. I think we've all found a rhythm. Our roles are secure now.
