All of our seniors know how much better we have to be on Tuesday.

I think our kids are excited to go on the road together. They have got to be able to dig down and do what we have done well all year and be better at some things. We need to play with confidence, play hard, play smart, and play together, and we'll live with what happens after that.

I know our administration has filled out the paper work for the NIT and is doing what they can to try and enhance our chance. We need to help ourselves and improve our resume to be selected to that tournament.

I'm certainly disappointed with our performance tonight. It wasn't much different from the game at our place.

I'm extremely pleased for Crystal and Erica because both are very deserving of those awards. When Crystal was named preseason honorable mention I said that I thought she understood how hard she would have to work to earn that same respect at the end of the season and it's great to see her effort pay off. Those two seniors have been the key to our season and both should be very proud of what they've been able to accomplish.

I'm excited about the enthusiasm and awareness for our program. This is a good time for us. There's a little bit of a buzz. That was the loudest it's been since maybe the K-State game last year.

They've struggled. They have a couple of kids who are pretty athletic, but they're young and rebuilding.

They were a difference-maker. Down the stretch when we're trying to come back from behind, I think it gives us energy. I don't think it affects La Salle, I think it is just positive energy for us.

(It) was more of a sluggish start. I didn't think the kids were nervous. I thought they were loose, but in a good way.... I thought maybe we rushed a few things early.

It's impossible to beat a team of that quality if you don't pressure and create some opportunities for yourself in transition. We just dug ourselves a hole.
