We like the tough, physical play. The girls are going to adapt to that.

This is a great opportunity for us to make a mark. This is a championship game, and it is worth everything.

Our girls just did a great job of defending the post. I felt the game was going to swing on the way we boxed out on the blocks.

The game was one we probably should have won. I think we were the better team, but we made too many mistakes. Pitman found a way to win.

There was no 'Win one of the Gipper,' speech and I don't believe in saying the score is 0-0 and go out and try to win the second half. The score is what it is. We went out, played hard and played a lot better in the second half.

We did a good job spreading the floor, running the offense and attacking the basket.

She's a remarkable story, and it's all a credit to her heart and hard work.

This tournament is certainly a building block. They all worked hard, and this was something they wanted from the beginning of the season.

It would have been a lot nicer if it was prettier. We haven't closed a game until now. This was a tight game and we closed it.
