This game was so much better for us. Last time it was kind of embarrassing, but the girls played well tonight, and they never quit.

They just have so many weapons ... they have a lot to choose from. That's why they're the No. 1 team in Iowa ... they don't just have one or two good players, they have a lot of them.

I would have felt better if we were going into halftime about three minutes earlier. We held them to zero points for the first five minutes (of the second quarter) and then we started fouling them and sending them to the line.

We had lots of chances. We just couldn't finish them.

They've meant a ton to us. It was tough to leave that locker room tonight. They've all done some amazing things in their time here.
