kick needed scream yell
Obviously, I needed to kick and scream and yell tonight. If that's what it takes, that's how I'll be. I want to be all I can be for them.

We felt like down the stretch, we needed more balance. We can't be perimeter oriented and we can't be post oriented.

I thought (Traore) and Katie weren't playing as hard and as aggressive on both ends of the floor as they needed to be. They kind of said, 'Yes, ma'am,' and got after it.

I thought our players responded when they needed too. Our defense is a large reason the score was what it was.

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

There's so many things as a coach that you see. The room for improvement is huge for us, and we'll come back and work on that.

We cut it to five and then to three and I thought we had a chance. But you've got to make plays down the stretch and we were unable to do that.
