There were about four situations in first half and three times in the second half where we really had to respond. I really thought our players stepped up and made the plays they had to.

One of the things about defending Drake is you have to defend them as a team.

There's no question that Cassie is our backbone. She knows what we need.

We've had some good wins, and I thought we did a good job against Iowa and Iowa State. We need to make another jump. We have to become a consistent offensive team. We have to score from the outside on a consistent basis and not just rely on getting the ball inside to score.

Tara King is really on her game right now. We still need to get a couple more perimeter players to knock down shots for us, but Tara did a great job of hitting some big ones.

We just allowed them back in the game. . We missed a lot of free throws.

There are two games that really stand out to me as memories from the West Gym and that upset win over Iowa State was one. The fire marshall was a little upset with us that night.

It was a very disappointing loss. We didn't do what we needed to do down the stretch for us to win the basketball game. Creighton did.

It's always hard, but the way the process is going, if you don't react to it and stay ahead of the curve, you'll fall behind.
