knew stepped ten
It completely broke. It popped when she stepped on it and she knew something was not right. It's more frustrating for her, but we should have her back for the Big Ten tournament.
averages good guards hold job knew shape wonderful
Our guards did a wonderful job defensively. We knew if we could hold them under the averages we would be in good shape and that is what we did.
aggressive both ends floor hard katie needed playing
I thought (Traore) and Katie weren't playing as hard and as aggressive on both ends of the floor as they needed to be. They kind of said, 'Yes, ma'am,' and got after it.
contest felt few game helped inches thank trying wall
I felt Nikki was trying to take over the game when they were up six. The thing we were able to do was put a few more inches on Nikki down the stretch, wall her off and contest the 3. That helped us, thank goodness.
blaming meant poor torn
I don't think that we meant to foul. Obviously, it was a poor decision. We're not blaming Cherelle; obviously, she is very torn up right now.
bottom continue drive fans game represent
We just want to represent Purdue and just represent our fans and ourselves. That's the bottom line, just continue to just drive every day and take it one game at a time.
beat bubble came constantly home illinois last motivate reason remind year
You just have to constantly remind them of their goals. A lot of the reason why we were on the bubble last year is because Illinois came in here and beat us on our home floor. If that won't motivate them, I don't know what will.
difference presence
We just didn't have that tandem. They had two and we had one (post player). That was the difference from the first game. Debbie Merrill is much more of a presence right now.
lindsay point post
We had made it a point to get more out of our post and at halftime, Erin (Lawless) and Lindsay (Wisdom-Hylton) were 1-of-7.
huge target
We have to let it go. We just put a huge target on our backs, if I had to guess.
bubble life relive scare year
We had the scare of our life a year ago, being on the bubble in February. We don't want to relive that experience.
baths deep north sure watch
We'll probably take a deep breath. I'm hungry, so I'll probably go get something to eat. Make sure the two little ones have their baths and are in bed, and then we'll watch North Carolina.
anxious assignment coaching players practices putting staff talent team together tough
We're anxious to get started, ... This team has a lot of talent and a lot of potential. Putting it all together is going to be a tough assignment for the coaching staff because all 14 players on our roster are very good. Our practices are going to be very competitive.
attempted basketball care free throws took
We took care of the basketball and made more free throws (12) than they attempted (11). Those two really helped.
