It's no secret we've struggled this year in the conference. I felt like there was a lot of pressure on Purdue. They came off a huge game against Michigan State; there was bound to be a letdown.

It puts you in a tough position when you lose by eight and 28 of those points come from the line.

A lot of her points were later in the game, so I have to take some consolation in that.

That's why they are Purdue and we're not. They were able to sustain that run and make a great run when it counted.

We got a good, old-fashioned butt-kicking. We didn't shoot well, didn't defend well. We took a step back today that I'm not really happy with.

We all looked around and watched her, and the other four players were unable to produce.

It can't be about wins and losses. We've talked about it's not where you start, it's where you finish.

Wow. We just got a good old-fashioned butt-kicking.

We broke down and they made some shots. Iowa played a great game, no question.
