(The Lobos) have the depth, the experience and the confidence you need to win three games in so little time. You also need good post play to really pace you when your shots might not be there from the outside.

You've got to give Iowa a lot of credit, being down and not quitting. I knew they wouldn't quit.

The difference is, New Mexico has been successful there before.

The Colorado State game is the game we are going to focus on, that is for sure.

I don't know if it will come down to those two. But I know those two will be big factors.

I know for Ambrosia, her freshman year we went to the tournament, so it's nice for her last year to have this opportunity.

Iowa is a very good team. We'll need to play our best basketball. I just hope we can represent our team and our conference well in the tournament.

In a three-game tournament, you can't rely on your outside game. You've got to have good players inside and you have to be able to stop people. We have the most depth and the best inside presence of any team left in the tournament.

I'm very proud of this team. This is the way we've played on the road all year. Our team is solid and confident. We know that if we get down, we have the talent and ability to come back and win the ball game. That is exactly what we did tonight.

I'm just really proud of these young ladies. They came together and got it done, it was a big game for us.
