"It's the weirdest thing. Theoretically, those two things don't go together: 'I want to be the best player in the country,' but then when people say, 'Oh, there's Sarah Strong, she's the best player in the country' -- she hides from it."
"She's a kid that sort of wants to fit in. Her maturation on and off the court into the star the Huskies need her to be could be the key to the revival of a dynasty."
