The players did it; they just willed themselves to some things. They played with an amazing amount of energy. We've come from behind a lot, and we just kept plugging away.

We've got to get more out of them then we did last night. We've got to do a better job of finishing around the basket and getting in better position to score.

To the players' credit, they didn't panic. That's not about coaching or game planning. It's about the people you have. We'll build off of this.

You can't be the leader just when you want to be the leader. You have to be the leader all the time.

Megan has really led the charge the past couple of games.

Based on their history, based on the way they've played over the years, they're a team that everyone has great respect for in the women's game.

She will be one of the best players that's ever played in this league. She has been up to this point, and I don't think she will soon be forgotten. Her mark is going to be on the Big 12 for a long, long time.
