They’re similar to us in that usually if you take away the outside game, you win. Or if you take away the inside game, you win. But with them and with us, we have great...

It can be good or bad. Sometimes you’re emotionally drained because you had such a feeling of euphoria coming off a big win. But sometimes it gives you more energy or more confidence.

We took two real quick shots in a row, and on both occasions they came down and scored. They took the wind out of our sails a little bit.

Everyone wants parity. They want what?s best for women?s basketball. But everyone still wants what?s best for their program.

We like to play an up-tempo game. It’s an exciting brand of basketball, and our players enjoy playing it.

We were really trying to get a game with Michigan State this year. Both schools worked really hard to make this happen. Both schools wanted a home-and-home. The dates just didn’t work out. I’m happy...

We’re the best conference in the country.

I think this is the most beautiful ugly win we’ve had in the history of our program.

People that aren’t typically women’s basketball fans, if they just tune in for a little bit and see them play, they’ll come back for more.

It’s killing me right now. Not for myself, but for my players.

We haven’t talked about being undefeated. We can’t really worry about the big picture now. We’re so focused on the next game at hand.

They went small and spread us out.

Now you’re forced to be ready to play every night.

It’s because high school kids are getting better and better. The quality and quantity is getting better. Players are going to different schools now, not just the top two or three teams. They’re willing to...

It was necessary for her growth as a person. She needed to get things in the proper perspective. I told her I wanted her story to have a happy ending. In order to do that,...

We have spurts of greatness. The way we started the second half is the way I’d like to see us play for 40 minutes.

I think it’s much more difficult to keep players happy nowadays. We live in what I call a fast-food society, where we all want immediate gratification. We want what we want and we want it...

We’ve watched enough tapes of them to recognize they are scrappy.

I think we’re very comfortable with (the rotation) now and I think our players are becoming much more efficient. (Currie) was just very efficient with her minutes and I think part of it is because...

Once we got the lead we were anxious and we took two quick shots and then they came down the scored. We made our run and they withstood it.

I think being able to get to the Final Four four times is pretty nice. I feel very good about it. I know our team is going to be successful throughout my career so I...

Essentially, we returned six starters.

I think we’ve gotten back to playing the way we want to play, and that’s hard, aggressive defense.

I think we were very anxious to play. I can attribute some of that to the turnovers that we had, which is unacceptable. We understand we can’t allow that to happen any more.

I’ve let that pressure go. I feel like we’re going to win it at some point. I know we’re going to win it at some point. I think in the past, I wanted it so...

We wanted to attack the baseline. They were in a 2-3 or 3-2. A lot of the time they were in the 3-2 and we knew the baseline was open. We had our shooters go...

Crystal would make a great play, and I would be on the sidelines cheering, ‘Yea, Crystal,’ and then I would be going, ‘Oh, my God,’ because I knew I had to play against her for...

It was a great team effort. That’s what I told the team in the locker room — five players in double figures, and everybody who came off the bench contributed in some way, shape or...

They do a great job with their traps. I know we’ll be a lot better (in the future) for this game.

I think it’s quality depth. A lot of teams have a lot of players, but our bench is productive, probably as productive as any team in the country.

Their pressure once again caused us problems. We did not play with a whole lot of poise…. I wouldn’t say it’s an easy fix, I would say it’s a mentality. Once again I feel like...

She understands when we need to push and when we need to pull back and set up our offense and who needs the ball in which situation. She’s changed our look tremendously on both ends...

This was a really good game for us to play. Obviously we like to score in transition, and Auburn did a great job just walking the ball up the court and slowing down the tempo.

Years ago, players were willing to come in and sit on the bench for one or two years and work their way into the lineup. And now so many players come in and they want...

Overall, I was really pleased and I thought it was a great team effort. Everybody coming off the bench played really well for us and that’s important.

When you think about it, we ended the game basically with our starting five from last year. So that’s a great luxury to have. That just shows the depth of the team, the experience of...

It wasn’t just one person, it was everybody. Turning the ball over 31 times – I don’t think I’ve ever seen that from this team. So I’m a little disappointed with that.

This was one of our best defensive efforts, really of the year.

That’s the great thing about our team. We have tremendous depth. It depends on the day who is playing well for us.

She was much more aggressive with the basketball, and it paid off for her and for us. She still passed up three or four shots that I wish she would have taken. But it’s a...

Obviously, we’ve got to do a better job of taking care of the basketball. I’m not quite sure why we’re turning the ball over more now. I don’t think we’re seeing any greater pressure than...

We wanted to attack the baseline, because when they run a 3-2 zone, we know the baseline and high post are the weaknesses of that zone. And our guards did a good job of penetrating.

Our bench is pretty productive. We have quality depth. I feel our bench is as productive as any in the country.

It was gradual. They hit shots and continued to gain more confidence. Our defense in the second half was not as good as it was in the first half, and they hit great shots.

Those are two very emotional games for us, big rivals for us.

We didn’t do a good job of taking care of the basketball … and we didn’t hit our free throws. Against a great team, you have to do the little things well, and making free...

In the first half we trapped their screens a little bit and they made us pay for it. We knew we needed to lock down on defense in the second half and we did. That...

They do a great job with their presses, their traps. They’re extremely aggressive. They get out in transition probably better than anybody in the country, and they’re really well-balanced.

Obviously we’ve been on the road. We read the papers. But when you come back from winning a regional and a trip to the Final Four, and the headline is not actually about your team,...

It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read.
