defense great knock open played
Purdue played great defense and we didn't knock down some open shots. Then we started fouling a lot, and we really didn't play the way we wanted to.
defense finally good playing run second
We were able to, in the second half, get a little run going, finally playing some good defense and getting some rebounding and run in transition, and that's our game.
bench came change defense gave great scoring
We had some great bench play today. Carrie, Annika and Leah came in and gave us some great scoring and great defense to change the tide.
adjusting contest defense finally key moving quicker run transition
I think the key for us is we finally started moving in our defense better, and adjusting and having quicker feet. And being able to contest every shot....We did that. We boarded and then we were able to run and get transition baskets.
arms contest defense effort feet hoped kept played shoot team top
We wanted to make them shoot over the top of us. Contest every shot. Our team effort was amazing. The defense was everything I hoped it would be. We kept our feet moving, our arms moving, played with so much energy.

Indiana State is a great team. With in-state teams, it is always a rivalry, but we've got to play our game.

Ohio State is obviously one of the best teams in the country. They just have all-around great athletes, great defenders. They're gonna try to get up and down the floor as much as they can. They're gonna pressure us as much as they can. They're gonna look to take us out of our game.

against continues domino hurt knock played pressure rusty shots
Their pressure didn't hurt us, we played against that up there. We just didn't knock down shots and we had that deer-in-the-headlight look. ... We were rusty offensively, and when a lot of things go like that, it continues the domino effect.

Tonight was a big step for us and a big step for the program.
