came defense energy great playing pleased pop presence team
I was really pleased with our presence on defense down the stretch. I thought we had a lot more energy and a lot more pop in our step. (Missouri State) is a great little team and came in playing freely, but once we got going I thought we were fine.
energy focus great
If we had great energy and great focus and intensity, I'm OK. I didn't think we had that the first half.
effort energy great matter played urgency
It was a matter of getting some stops. We played with great effort and energy and a sense of urgency down the stretch.
emotion energy goal sure sustain
It's been a slugfest, been really physical. Our goal is to sustain that energy and emotion we had tonight, and I'm sure that's their goal, too.

It will be a slugfest. It will be very physical. Our goal is to sustain our energy and intensity. The two best teams are playing. That's pretty special.

We talked about its 20 minutes and today really matters a whole bunch. And it's a sense of urgency and the fact that if you want to compete for a Big Ten title, this can't happen today. We can't lose today.

We just wanted to make sure that we tried to we limit her touches. We shaded her in our zone. We wanted to change our defenses up and I think that was more disrupting.

We had the scare of our life a year ago, being on the bubble in February. We don't want to relive that experience.
across bad depends happens
We don't want that to happen. If it does, it does. It was not our goal. A lot depends on what happens across the country. I'll feel bad if it happens.
control matter stretch wants
We control our own destiny. It's going to be a matter of will down the stretch and who wants it the most.

We're going to try to make sure we play our tempo.

The shots that she's taken were all good shots and that's the difference. She has done a great job lately of being able to control the tempo more and making better decisions in our half-court offense.
