We started executing offensively and got stops defensively. Basketball is a game of runs. We had to sustain ours a little longer, and we did.

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 to make mistakes. We're just very fortunate to get the win.

In the second half, we were very, very aggressive. We had the lead (in the first half), but we weren't playing our best basketball. It's so hard to put into words. We just dominated in the second half.

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 beat Penn State. Hopefully, that's one we can duplicate.

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

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

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.

I'm just excited to have the opportunity to be in the tournament and play our opening game on our home floor.

I knew it was off as soon as I released it. With two seconds to go, it's kind of a desperation anyway. I wish I had it back as soon as I released it.

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.
