When you get into the conference tournament you can't rely so much on your offense. There are too many talented teams that defend well.

I am so very proud of what you've been able to accomplish. I'm so proud of the way you've been able to represent this university and I thank you for bringing joy to my life and the season that you've given me this year.

I thought we played extremely well tonight. We executed the press effectively and our offense was clicking on all cylinders.

With the addition of Annie, she gives us a lot of depth at the guard position. Annie will be able to relieve Mel at the point so we don't have to play our starting guards a ton of minutes.

We were very fortunate to get the win today. As the season goes along you need these kinds of gut-check games. I think our kids showed a lot of character, especially in the second half.

That's not exactly how we scripted it. I give all the credit in the world to Drake. They are a smart team and very well coached.

It starts with our captains, and it starts with our point guard. I hope it stings. I hope it hurts.

To set the record and not be at home, I couldn't think of a better place to break it at. Missouri State is tough at home and they average over 6,000 fans per game, so it will a tough challenge for our kids.

She does a great job of recognizing who to get the ball to and when to get it to them or when she needs to step up and be more of a scorer.
