Best memory
The (2005) Final Four was a great run. Every time we touched the floor, we were ready to play.
This year, we've had our ups and downs, but it has made our team closer and tighter. Our chemistry is great, and we have fun playing with each other on the court.
Haynes on Lucas-Perry
Victoria's a great singer. She has her own little tune, and she sings in her own little way.
McCallie on Haynes' personality
She's (a) diva with her boots, her purses. If I see one more purse from Rene Haynes, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Myisha Bannister
6-3, Forward
Cleveland, Ohio
On how she has changed in four years
When I came here, I was a scaredy-cat. Now, I'm leaving here a woman that has been through a lot of things — a lot of adversity — and I'm still persevering through it.
Most memorable moment
When I tore my ACL and still had a strong mind, came back and am here playing right now.
Lasting impression
I want people to remember me for having been strong-minded, having heart, giving everything to the team and making the team better.
On the other seniors
Before our games, Rene and Victoria are always singing like they're the best singers, but they're the worst singers on the team. They are always singing before pregame, jumping around. Victoria's always so loud. I don't think she knows she's so loud, but she's loud.
McCallie on Myisha
Myisha's one big, common denominator with (McCallie's son) Jack is SpongeBob. She's a huge SpongeBob fan.
Victoria Lucas-Perry
5-9, Guard
Flint
Favorite memory
The Tennessee game (in the 2005 Final Four), coming back and getting to the national championship. We got down, and everybody counted us out. People left messages on my answering machine saying they were sorry about the loss. People counted us out. The fact that we came back, (and) I hit some big shots down the stretch. It was just exciting, and it was the win to get us to the national championship game.
Grantham on Lucas-Perry's rapping
It's worse when she raps on the bus. There's other people on the bus. There's donors that travel with us sometimes, and there's Victoria rapping in the back of the bus. And we always know when she says something she shouldn't say out loud when the whole bus turns around and looks at her.
McCallie on Victoria
Victoria is funny. Pregame, she puts on her iPod and just sings out loud with all different language, sometimes fairly offensive. I hope somebody picks that up. I'm going to miss that. If nobody picks it up, I'm going to miss it. Victoria's very boisterous. She's a diva. Definitely a diva.

Future plans
I'm an accounting major, so I will be going through the master's program next year because I have to get 150 credits. Then, I'm going to go the public accounting route, and as soon as Coach P retires, I'll be taking over in her spot. I'll be head coach of the women's basketball team. That's what I tell people, anyway.
On leaving as the winningest class in program history
It isn't just a reflection of us, it's a reflection of what Coach P has done with this program and the players she's recruited.
On being a lifelong Spartan
I was born a Spartan. My dad was on the track team here, and he taught me the fight song when I was 5. Michigan State is a place that I always loved and will always love, and when I have kids, I'm going to teach them the fight song as soon as they can speak. It's going to be a place that I will always love, and it will hold a special place in my heart.
