consistency kindness lack ongoing point rather
At this point of the season, you would rather not have to make these kind of moves. But as a coach, you find yourself making adjustments all year. Our lack of consistency has been an ongoing thing all year.
effort energy hard people second work
We just wanted to show 12,000 people what we were all about. That's hard work and second effort and just a lot of energy out there.
consistent might players
We might have to shorten our bench. Some players have been more consistent lately.
best future lauren luck wish
We wish Lauren and Brittney the best of luck in their future endeavors.
dug five hole knew offensive ourselves six time tough turn win
Five of our first six possessions were turnovers. We dug ourselves a hole very, very quickly. It was 10-0 before you knew it. But any time you turn it over 24 times and give up 18 offensive rebounds, it's going to be tough to win on another team's floor.

Right now, Washington is the best team in the country to us.
ball michigan plays pressure ready style
Purdue plays the same style as Michigan State. They pressure the ball all over. We'll have to be ready for that.
bothered crystal great hand job last player shoot year
Bolden did a great job on Crystal last year at our place. She went 2 for 14, and I think that was a difference. Shannon is a really intelligent player just with her length, (Smith) had to shoot over a 5-11 player with her hand up, I think that bothered her a little bit.
bench figure percent production
You got to go with what has been working and I think right now, if you figure out the percentages, we were getting 50 percent of our production from our bench and 50 percent from our starters.
best offensive proud threats
We have some of our best offensive scorers and threats off the bench. I was very proud of them seizing the moment.

game hit hoping instead penn players prepare state steps taking took
We had mix-ups on who we were guarding sometimes, and we had players getting hit by screens. That's not us. We went into this game hoping to prepare for Penn State (on Sunday). Instead of taking two steps forward, we took a step back.

We had great effort and played with great passion, but it just wasn't enough tonight. The tougher team won tonight.

We had a lot of mental lapses and defensive breakdowns the entire game. It's a win.
