Is it his best job? You'd have to ask him. I have great respect for him. I think he's the best coach in the country.

It definitely hurts in the locker room. We're an NCAA (Tournament) team. We've just got to win these games. These are the type of games that you need to win to put you over the top.

It will be difficult. Just sitting around and waiting. It [stinks].
|
It's a tough way to lose. I told our players that games aren't won or lost in the last 30-40 seconds. We shot 50 percent from the free-throw line in the second half, and that's not going to get it done against the type of teams we're playing in this league.
|
It's big [getting these past two wins]. We're 3-3 in the league right now, and I've said we need to win eight or nine conference games to get to the NCAA Tournament.

It's going to be fun to watch.
|
It's like an NCAA Tournament game.
|
It's like the build-up to Christmas, waiting to open the big present under the tree. You don't know what you're going to get. Hopefully the NCAA selection committee is like a whole big Santa Claus.

Jackson has been in and out of the doghouse all year, she's been deep in there. And we're not a deep team.

Last home (stand) I wasn't very happy with how we played. We were headed into a direction where we deserved what we got against Connecticut, because if we continued to play the way we had been, we weren't even going to make the (NIT or NCAA) tournament.
|
Losing the way we had can wear you down emotionally and mentally. I'm really proud how we came back and did what we needed to do. In this conference, you have to take care of things at home.

Parsons was injured in the West Virginia game (Feb. 25) and wasn't feeling good. But we will go back with Parsons against Notre Dame. She's our best interior defender. We have to do a good job against (Lindsay) Schrader, a good job against Duffy and not get into early foul trouble.

She had a great game tonight. She had a good bounce to her, running up and down the court, defending as well. She was assertive and looked good until the fall.
|
She was questionable going in and played with a great deal of pain. For a jump shooter, that's tough coming off the floor with that bounce, and I think that's why she struggled a little bit.
|
She's a good player. That's why she's preseason first-team all-league.
