So, anyway, we made it here safe and sound, and that’s all that matters. We’re calling her ‘Crash’ now.

I thought they played an excellent game. I know they’ve been struggling with their rebounding, and I think they took it out on us today.

We were ready to play from the word ‘go’. I was very pleased with our start. I was a little anxious to see how we’d come out and if we’d be a little off our...

I thoroughly enjoy watching them play. We have a tough test on our hands, one I’m looking forward to playing.

I think it was good for us mentally. We haven’t blown a team out in a while. … Confidence is sometimes such a fleeting thing. Honestly, this game was probably better for us mentally than...

Parity is a great thing for the sport, but I think we?re still 5-10 years away from reaching the same level. There are more upsets, but only in the early rounds, if you consider those...

I thought we came out a little slow. We didn’t have the focus that we normally have.

I’ve seen it too many times. When the pressure’s really on, they come through. I just feel utter disappointment for my players. It’s killing me right now.

We’ve been in this environment several times. Now we use it to our advantage. We fed off the crowd, and the crowd fed off us.

I think this was probably really good for us. They say almost every tournament, there’s always one game where you don’t play well and you’ve got to find a way to win. Hopefully this was...

They decided to try and take away our inside game and played a zone, particularly in the first half, and that left our shooters wide open. Then in the second half we got our inside...

That was probably the most beautiful ugly win we’ve had in the history of our program. Connecticut did a fantastic job. It was a war out there. They made us work for everything.

Early on, we were the aggressor, and I thought we did a great job. But I thought as the game wore on they became a little more comfortable.

I think it was their pressure. And that’s not just your point guard, it was all of us. They’re extremely aggressive and very physical, and I don’t think we responded to their physical play very...

It’s really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I’m having two opportunities. I just feel so lucky to be given this opportunity again.

She’s one of those kids who’s good on the ball, and she’s really good off the ball, too. She’s willing to take a charge, and she does a lot of the little things that go...

It’s always difficult to beat a team three times. It’s extremely difficult to beat a great team three times.

It makes my job easier. I think it shows with our assists, how unselfish they are, but also with the minutes. People are only concerned with the end result.

Marissa’s game has grown so much.

Those two numbers stood out for me.

We really tried to get a game with Michigan State. We wanted to have a home-and-away (series), but the dates would just not work. Hopefully we’ll get a home-and-away scheduled later on because I really...

When we played there a couple of years ago, I was really impressed with their fans because I felt like they were knowledgeable but not out of control. It didn’t feel intimidating to me. It...

Players want to win championships. They want to win conference championships, they want to win a tournament championship. .. Players want to be able to cut down nets — it doesn’t matter what the nets...

We just see it as three games. It’s it’s own entity. That’s our only focus.

I just feel utter disappointment for my players and my seniors.

It was an exciting game. It was a great game. But it was just one game.

I think that ignited them.

I think we all need to do a better job of bidding to have sites. Carolina was fortunate to have a home site last year, as was Maryland. I think every year, year in and...

I think that was the probably the most beautiful ugly win we’ve ever had in the history of our program. It was not pretty by any means. It was a war out there. It was...

I think we’re going to have work a lot harder for it. It’s going to require us making the very most of all our abilities, because there are so many great teams coming back almost...

This was by far the most physical game, and you can’t just turn it on in one game. You have to prepare for that, I think, every single day in practice. I know that we...

We just weren’t playing with the effort, the intensity, the desire, the passion that I think we’re known for and that we’ve come to expect from our basketball team.
