“Today was a culmination of things we've been fortunate not to have exposed. We don't help each other enough and it makes the team uneasy. We're just not confident with one another right now.”
“I know this sounds crazy, but everybody finally, seriously, took a real look at themselves. All season, everybody had an excuse or a reason for why we weren't getting a particular thing done.”
“I tried not to think too much. I tend to do that a lot. I just tried to do what I do, as I always say, which is just go for the ball. I understand that I was the only one that could do what we needed to have done today. I've been really unfair to the team (lately). I got to feel good about myself as a teammate. If anybody was going to be offered up on the block, I felt like I could handle it.”
“I think Coach [C. Vivian Stringer] said it best, when she called it the changing of the crown, so to speak. This has definitely been a long time coming for the Rutgers program. This is something monumental for the program. People will look back on this season as the beginning of a dynasty.”
“She brought experience and leadership that Coach has looked for. She was constantly talking to everybody. Two years ago, three years ago, we would have went down in flames, to be honest with you. There was no point in the game when I, or my teammates, thought that we were going to lose. It was a very difficult thing to come back from, but we believe in ourselves.”
