glad lull stepping
Nikki has been in a lull for awhile. I'm glad to see she's stepping up and doing the things that she does well.
meet nice walk
It's nice when you walk in a room, and you meet kids, and they give you a hug. They need me as much as I need them right now.
battle playing
Jenny has been a real inspiration in her battle to come back and Cyndi has done an outstanding job. I think we're playing pretty well at this point.
great knock obviously open played shots
Purdue played great defense. We didn't knock down some open shots and obviously when that happens, it manifests itself.
great mold talent walking
They already have the talent, now we have to mold it. We are walking into a great situation, and we just want to take it from here.
defense great knock open played
Purdue played great defense and we didn't knock down some open shots. Then we started fouling a lot, and we really didn't play the way we wanted to.
broke executing foul half noise players second
We just didn't have our composure. We broke (the press) early, in the first half, (and in) the second half but I think (with) the noise and the crowd, we weren't executing and because of foul trouble, we had some players that were inexperienced. And that was a big key.
continue domino knock rusty
We just didn't knock down shots, we had that deer-in-the-headlights look, and Jenny and Nikki didn't score. We were rusty offensively, and I think when all that happens, a lot of things continue the domino effect.
arms contest defense effort feet hoped kept played shoot team top
We wanted to make them shoot over the top of us. Contest every shot. Our team effort was amazing. The defense was everything I hoped it would be. We kept our feet moving, our arms moving, played with so much energy.
beat double game limit touches triple
We have to limit her touches and let everyone else beat us. We have to take her out of the game with double and triple teams.
ball games shooting win
We have to make shots. You're not going to win many ball games shooting 29 percent.
step tonight
Tonight was a big step for us and a big step for the program.
athletic basketball continue encourage fans great helps hope player program sixth support turn
We had a great turn out today. I hope we continue to have between 2,500 and 3,000 fans every game. The fans are the sixth player and it really helps the program and the players. We encourage everyone to continue to come and support IU women's basketball and all IU athletic sports.
eighth finish iowa minnesota played supposed
We don't feel like we have a lot of pressure. We were supposed to finish like eighth or ninth. We played Minnesota exceptionally well and we got to go into Iowa and do the same things.
