Opening Statement...
"We need to understand that it's not just about winning and losing a game. It's about how you play, the attitude that you have and the toughness that you show. We just didn't have any toughness. We had no pride in our defense whatsoever. I was extremely disappointed with the defensive rebounding effort. I thought Taya Reimer did a great job on the defensive glass, but no one else did their job. It was extremely disappointing to watch, and the only reason we won the game is because we outscored them. We looked like that was our mentality that we were just going to try to outscore them, and we are not going to try to stop them, and that is just not acceptable.
On why she thought the team's effort declined...
"I don't know what it was. I didn't think anybody played particularly well. I thought Lindsay (Allen) was off, she didn't take a shot in the first half and she's one of our top three scorers and she was just not mentally as sharp as she usually is. I think that coming off two huge games against North Carolina and Tennessee, it's a lot of emotion, they thought that they were going to win and gave it half the effort.
On being favored in the next few games...
I think it's up to the leaders on the team to get everybody ready to play. That's their job, to get everyone ready. We are going to do everything we can do get them ready, but when we leave the locker room that's up to them. We have got to focus on that, because everyone in this league can beat us.
On the defensive rebounding...
"Like I said earlier, Taya (Reimer) was the only one doing her job. You can't have one person doing her job, and everyone else watching, and that's upsetting."
On Michaela Mabrey...
"I thought she played better in the second half. She had a little better effort defensively. I think in the first half they picked on her. They took complete advantage of her in the first half. It looked like their game plan in the first half was to pick on her, and we didn't have an answer for that, and that was a problem for us."'
