energy focus great
If we had great energy and great focus and intensity, I'm OK. I didn't think we had that the first half.
credit expected gave nobody prouder team time win
Our team expected to win when nobody gave us a chance. We're hurting. But I couldn't be any prouder of this team. You have to give them credit there to make a play. We didn't have time to make one.
balance four nice six
If we have that kind of balance, we'll be pretty good. We've got to have four show up and we got six tonight. ... It's nice when you can have that kind of balance and selflessness.
felt
I felt if we could keep it in the 60s, we'd have a chance.
asked continued herself impact last month player season
She continued this last month of the season to be an impact player for us. We asked her to make herself more available, don't disappear.
kick needed scream yell
Obviously, I needed to kick and scream and yell tonight. If that's what it takes, that's how I'll be. I want to be all I can be for them.
chance early giving scoring
They're scoring 78 but giving up 72 a game. We feel like if we can keep it in the 60s, the early 60s, we've got a chance to win.
building easy nice ten walk
Nothing is ever easy here. It's nice to walk out of this building (with a win). It's the one place in the Big Ten that I haven't won.
certainly explaining hope pay resting
As we were resting them, we were explaining that to them and certainly we need to use that to our advantage. And I hope it will pay off.
bring double effort great others stop teams tendencies understand
You can't let others have big nights. You have to bring a lot of double teams (to stop Davenport) and you have to understand tendencies and live with percentages. It has to be a great team effort defensively.
far gain game good knees matter movement practice situations stops tonight totally week
No matter how much you put her in situations in practice to gain that (confidence), it's really good when she can have some game success. The knees were totally different than a week ago. She was totally different as far as her movement tonight laterally and she had some good stops defensively as well.
control decisions good great job lately shots taken tempo
The shots that she's taken were all good shots and that's the difference. She has done a great job lately of being able to control the tempo more and making better decisions in our half-court offense.
kids talking
It's interesting because the kids were talking about that and still weren't able to do anything about it.
base basketball eight fan folks hope means playing teams west
It means so much to be playing at home. We have such an outstanding fan base for women's basketball in West Lafayette and Lafayette, and I hope folks will come out and see eight outstanding teams in Mackey Arena.
