figure game hate stop team trying weapons
There are so many weapons in her game that just make us so much better. I'd hate to be the other team trying to figure out how to stop her.

Hopefully we can focus on just that one game and not worry about the other 62 teams in the bracket. We've just got to play our game.

There is so much individual talent on this team that at any given point someone is going to step up and make a play. When someone gets it going, we're going to go to them.

There's just so much individual talent on this team that at any given point someone is going to step up and make a play. Lindsay was huge down the stretch and Erin hit some big buckets for us.

Coach Curry says we're better listeners, but I think we're just really focused on what we have to do. We all feel that we have a very talented team with a lot of potential.

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.

It's a great honor. It's just a testimony of how our team finished this year.
fall four good job kept physical players post punching strong team
They're a hard-nosed, physical team and that's what they live by. We didn't fall down, we kept punching back. I thought our post players did a good job in there. (Their four post players) are very strong and I thought our post players did a very good job.

You come to Purdue to hang a banner. We were successful this year. We put ourselves in position to hang a couple banners. The best thing to realize is, we don't have to worry about making the NCAA tournament. I think a lot of teams across the country should fear Purdue.
catch chances drive finally hurt jump loves ourselves people position
We finally put ourselves in a position where (Hoskins) didn't catch it. She loves to drive baseline, so you have to take your chances with the jump shot. But it wasn't just Hoskins; a lot of other people hurt us.
backed bit cross great minds players
It didn't really cross our minds (to foul) and we kind of backed off a little bit and Cyndi made a great shot. Great players make great shots.
huge lindsay stretch
I thought Lindsay was huge down the stretch for us.
almost days four games impressed minutes players playing ready
Just toughness. To have four games in four days with some players playing almost 40 minutes ... their will to get it done impressed me. We've got to come ready to play, that's for sure.
battling character great happened played
Who know what would have happened if we played like that for 40 minutes. But I thought we showed great character battling back the way we did.
