We need to be more physical, which we were [Thursday], but we need to be even more physical and work on the mental things. We also need to keep focusing on the fundamentals.

Nicole ... is overlooked. But we as a team appreciate her, so she knows that she's doing good.

I don't think they knew that they were going to get this far. And I don't even think they know I play for Gulf, so pretty much I'm going to surprise them.

Nicole knows how to use her body right. She'll get down and she knows how to rebound. She's real physical.

All the extra work that I did paid off. The practice got me to the level that I needed to be to compete. Every player's goal is to get a college scholarship and go to the NBA, so the hard work is necessary.

Rather we had a few schools that did not take the necessary verification work seriously enough.
