The one thing that I was afraid of was that (with) them coming off a loss like they came off of ... I figured they'd be focused and ready to roll. They were. I thought they were very physical with us and we didn't respond very well with that.

I didn't think we fought in the first half. I thought we did a little better job in the second half of fighting.

I'm very proud of my team. We've obviously been struggling in the Big 12. There were a couple of different spots tonight when they could've blown us out of this building and I thought the team responded every timeout we took. They just hung in there and fought as hard as they could.

She was excited. It was hard pulling her back out. That knee's obviously fixed, I think. She even had to make a move to get open, didn't she? That's something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

We thought, 'We have to make them beat us from the outside,' and they did.

Oklahoma's got a great team. That's a team with a legitimate chance to go to the Final Four.

I've said all year long that I think Courtney Paris is the best player in this country, and nothing changed my mind tonight.

I thought she was willing to give up her offense to get everybody else involved, and that's the sign of a true star player.

I think maybe 10-15 years from now she's going to be the one everybody looks back on and say she's the best women's player in the history of women's basketball before it's all said and done. She's special.
