(In the first half) we started to get into their tempo. We wanted to stay away from that.

For 40 minutes I thought we played extremely good basketball.

Who know what would have happened if we played like that for 40 minutes. But I thought we showed great character battling back the way we did.

It’s one and done in the Big Ten tourney, one and done in the NCAA tourney.

In the first half, coach got on us a little because we took some quick shots.

I was hurting in places that hadn’t hurt before. (The Gophers) are so physical one through five and that’s how they play.

It’s a matter of taking it as we did with every other home game this year. It doesn’t guarantee us anything but it’s going to be nice to play in front of the home fans.

We kind of got real fired up when coach Curry got a (technical).

We came here thinking and knowing we were gonna win. That’s why it kind of sucks right now.

Aya carried us in the start of the second half.

They’re a hard-nosed, physical team and that’s what they live by. We didn’t fall down, we kept punching back. I thought our post players did a good job in there. (Their four post players) are...

For 40 minutes, I think we played extremely good basketball. We came out a little sluggish to start the second half, but we stayed poised and didn’t let it rattle us.

(She is) someone who I’ve always said is my favorite person to play with, and someone I’ll definitely miss playing with.

It didn’t really cross our minds (to foul) and we kind of backed off a little bit and Cyndi made a great shot. Great players make great shots.

She is the Magic Johnson of our game. She can do it all __ make the big shot, rebound and run the ball up and down the floor.

Going down the tunnel we were smiling because we knew we could play better.

We have to do a good job of getting out and contesting their shots.

Coach Curry says we’re better listeners, but I think we’re just really focused on what we have to do. We all feel that we have a very talented team with a lot of potential.

I thought we put ourselves in position to win. We came here thinking and knowing we were going to win (and) I thought we played well enough to win.

There’s just so much individual talent on this team that at any given point someone is going to step up and make a play. Lindsay was huge down the stretch and Erin hit some big...

There are so many weapons in her game that just make us so much better. I’d hate to be the other team trying to figure out how to stop her.

We’re very fortunate to get the win. Let’s leave it at that. We let it frustrate us. We’re human; we’re going to make mistakes, and they played their guts out.

It seemed like we were right back into it as quick as anybody could be. Unfortunately, they made one more shot than we did.

The flight into Penn State (on Saturday) was brutal. When we’re up in the air, that’s when all my joints start to swell a little bit. So once we get to the hotel, it’s a...

Anybody can go down on any night. That’s why you lace them up, and that’s why you play. That’s why God invented the scoreboard to keep score. So, who knows?

In all honesty, (the Big Ten title) is kind of still in our own hands. We do still control our own destiny. With two games left, it’s first or second from here on out.

Hopefully we can focus on just that one game and not worry about the other 62 teams in the bracket. We’ve just got to play our game.

Defense wins our games for us. It’s just a very good defensive effort.

We’ve got their phone numbers. We’re going to make sure that they know we want them here, and we need them here.

I looked at the bracket and I thought about it. I’ve been thinking about (2004, when she made the all-tournament team as a freshman) a lot lately. I remember the feeling of celebrating after we...

He wanted us to know before it came out in the newspapers. I think we’re all pretty excited. We haven’t met her, but we’re looking forward to getting to know her. From everything we’ve heard,...

Defensively, we let them score 63, but thankfully our offense had 71. It’s a win and that’s what we have to take it as.

It’s gonna be nice to play in familiar place, but we lost our last game there. We all remember losing to Indiana and hopefully we can get a win.

They’ve shot over 600 three-pointers this year, and we’ve shot like 300. We’ve got to do a good job of getting out and contesting shots because they’re going to put them up.

Anybody can go down on any given night. That’s why you play. We feel like we’re on top of the world. We’ll be ready.

In all honesty, it’s still in our hands. We still control our own destiny. We have to go to Ohio State prepared and ready to play.

They knocked shots down (while we were) trying to get back in a rhythm. But the important thing is that we won by 20 points and that’s the bottom line.

In the past games, I thought we’ve done a good job of staying composed and letting little things rub off our backs, but (on Sunday) we let things bother us. We’re human and we’re going...

We’re all pretty excited to finally have a new coach.

When you look at the last two games, we didn’t play good basketball. Give Indiana credit, they did. But tonight we came out and handled them and the score shows it.

She always had them ready to play, and they played very, very hard for her. She’s a competitor, and you’ve got to love having someone behind you, someone on the sidelines who wants to win...

Very fortunate to get the win. We have to leave it at that. We can learn some things but we won the basketball game, and at this point that’s all that matters.

It’s huge, but at the same we know it doesn’t guarantee us anything. It’s going to be nice to play in a familiar place, but at the same time, we lost our last game there.

You come to Purdue to hang a banner. We were successful this year and put ourselves in position to hang a couple of banners.

We can get to Boston. If we didn’t think we had a chance, we wouldn’t even go to Cleveland.

If we want to win the Big Ten title we have to win and that’s pretty much what it comes down to. If we lose, we get second.

(Webb) is our humor. She’s our humor when we need to be funny, she’s our comedy influence when we need to be serious.

We’re going to have our hands full on the perimeter, but we’re going to try to attack them, too.

We’re walking into the same situation we had against Indiana. We have a lot to prove. Hopefully, we can carry this intensity over into the next game.

I thought we came out and we handled them and the score shows it.
