>> COACH JACK, YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT YOU DON'T GIVE THE BANK OF AMERICA HARD HAT.

YOUR PLAYERS EARN IT.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC EARNED IT AFTER-- DOMINIQUE DARIUS EARNED IT AFTER THAT TRIPLE TIME OVERTIME THRILLER.

HOW EXCITED ARE YOU THAT SHE EARNED IT AFTER WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH PRIOR TO BEING AT SYRACUSE AND THE BIG SHOT SHE HIT?

>> I LIVE BY THE MIND SET THAT LIFE IS ABOUT MISTAKES AND HOW YOU RESPOND TO MISTAKES IS HOW YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

AND WE HAD A LOT OF MISTAKES IN THAT CAL-BERKELEY GAME.

DOM CREATED A LOT OF MISTAKES.

SHE HAD TO SIT AND HANDLE IT.

BUT SHE HAD TO COME BACK OUT AND GIVE US A CHANCE.

AND SHE CAME BACK OUT AND JUST DID MAGICAL THINGS, LIKE COULDN'T GET THE BALL IN.

THE KIDS REAR END WAS RIGHT THERE TOUCHING OFF THE YOUNG LADY'S BUTT AND MADE THE LAYUP.

NOW WE ARE PERCOLATING A LITTLE BIT.

AND HERE WE GO THIRD OVERTIME AND SHE WENT AND TOOK THE LAST SHOT, I CAN SEE HER LIPS SAYING, WIN THE GAME.

WIN THE GAME.

AND FOR HER TO HAVE THAT SELF MIND SET AND TO REALLY TALK GOOD STUFF TO HERSELF, I TELL YOU, SHE EARNED THE RIGHT TO WEAR THE HARD HAT BECAUSE SHE REALLY WENT THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATION OF WHAT YOUNG WOMEN GO THROUGH, GOOD, BAD, MISTAKES, MAD, HAPPY.

IT'S OUR TIME.

SHOW UP.

GET LUCKY.

AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO EITHER HAVE US WIN IT OR GO INTO YET ANOTHER OVERTIME.

AND LO AND BEHOLD, SHE FOUND A WAY.

[ CHEERING ] >> THIS IS WHO WE ARE!

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TAKE.

I DON'T KNOW THE RESULTS BUT WHEN DOM HIT THAT SHOT AND WE BEEN GOING THROUGH WAS WE BEEN GOING THROUGH, I DON'T GIVE A... RIGHT THEN IT WAS HER MOMENT TO BECOME.

AND YOU DON'T LET THOSE MOMENTS PASS AND WAIT UNTIL THE GAME IS OVER.

AND THAT'S WHY I WAS SO PERSISTENT ON LOOKING IN HER EYES AND SAYING THIS IS RIGHT NOW.

OUR STORY IS RIGHT NOW.

BANK OF AMERICA HARD HAT.

SPEECH, SPEECH, SPEECH, SPEECH.

>> I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY.

I'M PROUD OF EVERYBODY.

I KNOW LIKE THE LAST FEW GAMES HAVE BEEN AWESOME.

WE HAVE JUST BEEN SHOWING UP AND OUR TEAM IS JUST COMING TOGETHER AND EVERYBODY INDIVIDUALLY DID THEIR ROLE AND I'M JUST PROUD OF EVERYBODY.

TOE I WOULD TAKE IT BUT I THINK EVERYBODY SHOWED UP.
