It's nice to see the girls' hard work get recognized. Even though the preseason polls don't mean a whole lot, it does show that we are getting some respect.

No parts of our game were there today. It was a disgrace. This is our worst performance of the year, without a doubt. We weren't there mentally, we weren't there physically ? we were bad in every area today.

We've been on the road for the last seven weeks and were a little road weary. This team is very capable of putting up big offensive numbers. If we hit like we did tonight, I think we are unbeatable.

When you give anybody a little bit of momentum, they're going to carry it through the game. I ran out of players and I ran out of lineup cards.

We weren't prepared to play. We just didn't compete tonight. I was very disappointed.
