We went against one of the best teams we've faced all year, and played one of the best games we've played in many years.

It's pretty wide open. Everybody had better bring their best game every night. If you don't, there's going to be some upsets.

It still doesn't account for the way we played interior defense and the way we played interior offense. I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. We didn't play with much poise. I expected more.

I think it caught them by surprise, and they didn't have an answer for it. It got the tempo up to where we wanted it. We forced them to hurry up their offense.

I thought she wasn't playing as hard as she has been against other premier guards.

She's our heart and soul. The kids look to her for floor leadership. Even for a young player, she has put this team on her back and hit big shots.

Merritt and Ashley really got us going in the second half.

She couldn't have played without it. Her ankle looked like a football.

It's a loaded field. There are some great teams.
