great indiana state
Indiana State is a great team. With in-state teams, it is always a rivalry, but we've got to play our game.
display great poor sealed
Davenport and Hoskins put on a great display together. We got off to a poor start, and that pretty much sealed the deal.
basketball best challenge fortunate great opportunity pressure
It's a great challenge and a great opportunity for us. We're fortunate in that we have nothing to lose. We're not under any pressure and we'll just go out and play the best basketball that we can.
battle feels players proud talked
It's just feels good. I never talked about it with my players, I'm very internal; but I think the players knew. Our team's always going to go to battle and that's what I'm so proud of.
best floor gonna great obviously ohio pressure state teams
Ohio State is obviously one of the best teams in the country. They just have all-around great athletes, great defenders. They're gonna try to get up and down the floor as much as they can. They're gonna pressure us as much as they can. They're gonna look to take us out of our game.

It was a great basketball game, and we knew it would be a great battle. We had a good look at the end, but it just didn't fall.

It was a great environment today. We're continuing to grow and get better.

It's real exciting to be in the tournament. It's my first time with this group of young ladies, and we really have done a pretty good job this year.
against continues domino hurt knock played pressure rusty shots
Their pressure didn't hurt us, we played against that up there. We just didn't knock down shots and we had that deer-in-the-headlight look. ... We were rusty offensively, and when a lot of things go like that, it continues the domino effect.
basketball game within
The game of basketball is a game of runs. They got within 11, but we were able to keep on coming.
game goal hit huge plan players win
This is a huge win for our players and our program. We really executed our game plan to the tee. We hit every goal that we set.
game gave good great half last lost michigan separate step talent
The last two years we lost the first game of this tournament, so this is a big step for the program. Michigan gave us a good battle. They've got some great talent on that team. We did some good things in the first half to separate ourselves.
cut game next overcome shot
I thought we really had a shot when we cut it to two. And then we made some not-smart turnovers. That's not how you're going to overcome a deficit. The next thing you know, it's a 10-, 11-point game again.
hurts proud
It hurts because you didn't want to lose, but someone always has to in the end. But I'm very proud of these ladies.
