That was one of the greatest thrills we've had here. It was just a monumental win for our program. |
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. |
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. |
There's a part of our program that's leaving that basically may be impossible to replace. We were able to do an awful lot because of the things she brought us. |
There's no question that Cassie is our backbone. She knows what we need. |
There's no question that trying to get the highest bid is always good. |
They're a much, much different team now. They've really been playing well together. |
This was a very, very, very physical game, and it's hard to officiate when it gets like that. |
We have to capitalize when teams turn it over. It's important when you take control because it's very demoralizing. |
We just allowed them back in the game. . We missed a lot of free throws. |
We just have to find a way to take care of the ball better. Everybody's just trying to pressure the daylights out of us. We knew we'd turn the ball over because they're so good, but we didn't think we'd turn it over that much. |
We just talked about Cassie's entire role; it's just not on offense or defense. She played one of her better defense positioning games. |
We really tried to challenge the front of the rim. And we didn't shoot like we usually do. But, you know, a lot of times we'll shoot it well, but we're 8-of-8 or 9-of-10. That's eight or nine points. Tonight, we got 27 points at the line. |
We tried to challenge the front of the rim on every possession. But we had our hands full and it's hard to beat a team three times in a season. |
We've earned the right to take it to the next level. |
