We had a point to prove. We made a statement. We were tired of overtimes. We had something to say and we said it. |
We had made it a point to get more out of our post and at halftime, Erin (Lawless) and Lindsay (Wisdom-Hylton) were 1-of-7. |
We had the scare of our life a year ago, being on the bubble in February. We don't want to relive that experience. |
We have a lot of respect for Missouri State. We have a history with them, and we're definitely not going to look past them. |
We have still, still got to have better play from our bench. It's something that has been existent, non-existent. |
We have the utmost respect for Penn State. When you beat Texas Tech, you are a pretty good basketball team. |
We have to give (Missouri State) a lot of credit, but once we got going, I think that we were fine. |
We have to let it go. We just put a huge target on our backs, if I had to guess. |
We just didn't have that tandem. They had two and we had one (post player). That was the difference from the first game. Debbie Merrill is much more of a presence right now. |
We just played a team that has everyone returning. We were 3-1 against them a year ago and I said they were the most talented team in the league. There won't be a tougher task on the road than this. |
We just want to represent Purdue and just represent our fans and ourselves. That's the bottom line, just continue to just drive every day and take it one game at a time. |
We just wanted to make sure that we tried to we limit her touches. We shaded her in our zone. We wanted to change our defenses up and I think that was more disrupting. |
We need our fans in the stands at Mackey on Tuesday. I am asking fans to make it a priority to get to Mackey to see our team play for the last time this season at home, but, with their help, not the last time in the tournament. |
We showed a lot of character in those final minutes. It was great effort and energy. It was a sense of urgency at that point, a huge sense of urgency, and we were able to capitalize. |
We talked about its 20 minutes and today really matters a whole bunch. And it's a sense of urgency and the fact that if you want to compete for a Big Ten title, this can't happen today. We can't lose today. |
