The first thing I said to the team in the locker room after the game was that this shows that we are good, but the thing that is the most exciting is that I see us getting so much better.

They were very disruptive to our offensive sets. I think we had some shots we could've hit, but they were very physical with Tamara.

I told her that if we're going to be a team that really wins, we've got to get the other players involved. She absolutely agreed with it, and asked what she needed to do. She's been the most supportive of the new system.

It was really tough. We had some turnovers, I think, because of it. That really hurt us in the end.

This was a really big win because it answered questions in terms of are we for real. I could see the intensity of our players in the first 30 seconds of the game and I knew that we were going to play well.

We picked a bad time to have one of our worst execution performances of the year.

That was the kid that we didn't want to beat us, and she still beat us. So I think that's important to tip your hat to her.

Please don't give me the credit. You've got to start with Tamara James. I just want to make sure she gets the recognition she deserves. It's quite amazing what she's done.

I will be very surprised if we're not represented in the Final Four. I think one or two teams could get through -- even three. Who knows? I think they'll be very seasoned.

I felt like in the first half we had quit. I was really upset with my team at halftime.
