Carter Booth is a gem, and she continues to give amazing quotes. Her first one went viral after beating Texas. It was fired up, explicit, and you could sell 10,000 t-shirts with it. She said in the post-game presser that she probably shouldn't have said it as she did, "I committed a faux pas." But explained that she's all fired up.
Then, in an answer to how they responded to the reality that they were picked as underdogs, she gave another amazing quote that will have Wisconsin fans fired up. She said:
"I think we walked into this with the mindset that everybody but us thinks we're underdogs. I think we walked in knowing exactly who we are, what we have practiced, what we have worked on, and the talent that we have. We came in with the intention of showing people exactly who we are and who we know ourselves to be."Carter Booth
Wisconsin doesn't care if the nation sees them as underdogs, they came to win

In other words, she and her teammates don't care about the "ranking" beside the name; they know what they have, and they know what they can do. The Badgers came to win and win it all. They didn't let the Texas crowd noise get to them, they trusted their game plan and each other, and went out and took down what Kelly Sheffield called a "Goliath."
How did they beat Texas this time when, last time they faced each other, earlier this season, the Badgers were swept? Charlie Fuerbringer said they stayed connected, they worked together, and they continued to battle and stay mentally resilient in the face of any Texas run.
The Badgers are now headed to the Final Four and will take on another No. 1 seed, Kentucky. Wisconsin will be an underdog for this game, too, but according to Carter Booth, maybe they shouldn't be.
