We’ll have to try to fill her spot by committee. We need a couple players to give us what Chelsea gave us.

That win (at Oshkosh) was huge. It couldn’t have helped with our preparation any better. We were able to gain some momentum and confidence. We’re welcoming the challenge.

We got off to an early start and withstood their little comeback.

The keys for us are to be able to defend and rebound. And we can’t turn the ball over. If we can do that, we’ll have a shot to win the game.

Stout outplayed us. You have to give them credit. We shot 37 percent (from the field), which was the worst we shot all year and they shot 41 percent. You have to put the ball...

I thought we really stepped up to the challenge is this game. We were able to answer their runs. When they went on another run, I thought we really buckled down.

Platteville tried to slow the game down and lulled us to sleep. They focused a little bit more in the second half and mentally got into the game. We have to get out and run...

We did enough to get out of here with a road win, which was huge for us. I was real pleased with our effort and I thought we played really great defense.

At halftime it was like walking into a morgue. We talked about defense and rebounding. Maybe it’s happening because we’re playing a lot of kids and we get out of a rhythm on defense.

I’m really proud of the way the kids kept battling. We kept answering them and showed no signs of folding.

I’m sure their seniors don’t want their season to end and will be jazzed for the game. They’re probably the most experienced team out there. We need to use our depth to our advantage.

They’re a different team at home, but we gave them the game. We flat out stunk. I don’t know how you can expect to win a ball game playing like we did.

I think it helped us out a lot when Knapp got in foul trouble. She’s one heck of a ball player.

We were very focused and intense tonight. We had a team meeting after the loss at Eau Claire and talked about some things. I thought we were more focused tonight.

This is for all of the money. I don’t think the loser gets in. We’ll have eight losses and that won’t get you in.

We did what we needed to do to get back in the (WIAC) race. It’s huge for us. We have a chance to redeem ourselves at home and the big crowd gave us a lot...

She left everything on the floor and that is all we can ask of our players, to compete.

We need to protect our home turf. We’re trying for the No. 1 seed in the (WIAC) tournament. We knew it was going to come down to this.

When you look at everything in the scheme of things, 20 wins is nice because we have a very youthful team. It’s always tough to see your season end, but we don’t have anything to...

We wanted to keep it a double-digit lead and not let them get it under 10. For the first time in a couple weeks we came out strong and got out to a good start....

I think she was by far the best perimeter player in the conference — hands down. And she was a finalist for player of the year. That tells you something.

I think it’s going to be a classic. It should be a great game. Our motivation is to prolong our season.

She reminds me so much of Allen Iverson. Cassandra is one of those players who no matter what teams try, is not going to back down from a challenge.
