It's players against players. If we don't rebound and get back on defense, it won't matter how well I know Pat. |
It's unbelievable, almost surreal. I knew if we kept it close, we had a chance. |
Michigan State has great size and a great perimeter game as well. They play a very good match-up zone defense. It's going to be a challenge, but that's why we play in the NCAA Tournament. When you get to this point, it gets tougher as the road goes on. |
Our size has been really good to us. I know that (Moore) has probably tried to figure out how to counter that size. Their post people are really good off the dribble, so I would anticipate that they will pull us out away from the basket. |
She came up with a hustle play and was able to knock those free throws down. That was just a huge play in a tight game like this. |
Some of our post players shied away. We've got to get tougher. They fought harder inside. |
That was a really huge statement. It's a mirror image of what the men have on their side. The administration moved out and the coaches moved in. It's not the office - it's the message that sent. |
The crowd was unbelievable. It was so loud. |
They don't lose too often. They'll probably come in here fighting mad. |
They have the longest winning streak in the country, men or women. They haven't lost since November, so they would have to be coming in here feeling pretty good about themselves and feeling confident. They are a very strong 12th seed. |
They have the longest winning streak in the country. I'd have to think his kids have a lot of confidence right now, and when you get in the tournament, you're certainly going to do anything to try to get your kids motivated. |
They proved why they're the No. 3 team in the country. They looked like the No. 1 team in the country. |
They were able to execute a little bit better down the stretch. We made just a couple of execution mistakes that possibly could have given ourselves some better looks. Our timing was off a little and I don't know if that's youth or just lack of experience being in the NCAA tournament. |
They're a very powerful team. … We'll have to play extremely, extremely well to have a chance. |
They've been big all year for us. Our bench has been instrumental in our success. |
