I think everyone played pretty well today. Our team lost a close one last year, so we wanted to come out and put it to them this year and we did that.

(Brittany) is real funny, loud and outgoing. She can make you laugh to get you in a good mood for your matches. She loosens up, jokes around and makes everyone ready to go.

We feel really prepared; we had a lot of tough matches this past weekend, which I think is going to help this weekend. I think that we have a really good chance to do really well this weekend.

I think being on our home court, having more fans here and everything like that will be a huge benefit for us. That's definitely going to help us out a lot.

Kansas is pretty stacked this year. It was good to compete against that field.

I thought we played pretty hard in the first quarter, but they didn't miss a shot. They were 13 of 13 from the field and 4 for 4 at the line.
