This was a great team effort. They believe in each other and know how to win.

It was a great defensive effort. We're proud of our inside players both on offense and defense. Melinda and Jenny did an excellent job taking out their top two players.

You've got to give Iowa a lot of credit, being down and not quitting. I knew they wouldn't quit.

Courtney Paris has almost a third of their team's rebounds this season and her twin sister, Ashley, has almost another third. We have to do a good job at not giving them second and third shot opportunities.

When you're up 25 points, you pull your starters out with 1:54 left in the game. It's a classy way. You don't need to rub it in.

We're very grateful to be here, although I wish we had played better. But you have to give Oklahoma a lot of credit. They're well-coached and well-organized. They know how to spread the floor and get the ball where it needs to be.
