Their press forced us to rush in the second half. It changes the whole game when they are able to press and push the tempo on offense.

They don't have a lot of size, but they are quick. With their quickness, they are going to be able to beat a lot of teams and move up in the conference.

This league is nuts. It makes for a fun league, but it doesn't make for people feeling comfortable making the NCAA Tournament.

We feel a lot better after winning yesterday. The win at Notre Dame gave us breathing room. The last two games we have put together our best basketball. At Notre Dame, we played very well for 30 of 45 minutes. Yesterday, we played well for 36 out of 40 minutes.

We play a little bit of a different style than most teams. If we can get things together at the end, I think we can do pretty well.

We played good D for the first 25 minutes, then we fell apart defensively, then we caught up. We haven't been consistent. The defense was better [Saturday]. We opened up a lead and frustrated somebody else for a change.

We were telling our kids to keep running the offense and to try to wear them out a bit because they don't really have a deep bench.

We're never a good rebounding team, and that doesn't concern me. We try and spread the floor as much as we can because we're not that athletic. We can't pound the ball down your throat, but we hope to confuse you a little.

We've played well the last two games. But we don't see defenses like we'll see at Rutgers. We always have problems getting shots, and they turn us over more than most because of their quickness. Plus it's up there. It's going to be difficult.

What we tried to do was keep someone in the lane so when she drives we can always meet her with a second defender, so we try to force her to beat us over the top. It's nothing different than we've done in the past. I just think she didn't shoot the ball as well today.

What you had was an experienced team against an inexperienced team. When [we] figured out the gaps in the zone [defense], they were OK. That's all experience.

When you play well everything goes your way. When she shot the ball I said to (assistant coach) Joe (Mullaney) that it was going to go in. You can say it was a little luck, but when you play well, things go your way. They created that.

You came out hard and then you stopped playing after seven minutes. You?re taught to tell the truth here.
