Not to pick this game up tonight means we really have got to come through somewhere and win a game or two that nobody expects us to win. It just seemed that in the second half our defensive intensity wasn't there until the last four or five minutes.
"Sandra Kay Yow" was an American basketball coach. She was the head coach of the NC State Wolfpack women's basketball team from 1975 to 2009. A member of the Naismith Hall of Fame, she had more than 700 career wins. She also coached the U.S. women's basketball team to an Olympic gold medal in 1988 despite having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987. In April 2010, CollegeInsider.com created a new award called the Kay Yow National Coach of the Year Award in her honor. It will be presented annually to the women's college basketball head coach who displays great personal character on and off the court.

I still think this is Duke's best team that they've had. They've got a lot of pieces. They play with a lot of confidence. That's one of the factors. I just think we didn't play with the same kind of confidence tonight.
I think, quite honestly, she probably took shots too soon, too quick. She just wanted to help so much.
The effort and the hustle and the defense I feel good about.
We are fortunate to come out of here with a win tonight. Billie McDowell had a great game for us and all of our players that came off the bench played a key role in our win.
Rebounding enabled us to win that game.
I can't fault the effort we gave.
We have to have that in a game like this. There was no way we could fare well having one half of our offense.
