We had to hit them before they hit us. We were really prepared for [Jamie] and I was surprised she didn't come back in. She maybe lost her confidence or something.

We basically spent the game trying to dig out of a hole we dug in the first 20 minutes.

We just didn't play hard in the first half.

It's awesome. I haven't been to the tournament. For all the girls on the team who haven't been to the tournament it's just, 'wow, you're part of March Madness.' You strive to get to the NCAA Tournament.

We're not thinking about it anymore. You have to move on after losses. We're just going into the tournament thinking we're going to win.

It's kind of nice to see Minnesota as an opponent because we know who they are. We've played them before. We've been going through their stuff and we feel pretty confident about how we're going to defend them.
