basketball needed stretch win
It was a very disappointing loss. We didn't do what we needed to do down the stretch for us to win the basketball game. Creighton did.

It's a bracket that we feel good with, because we feel we can compete with all those teams, but we're also catching two teams in that bracket that are probably playing as well as anybody in our league right now.
community fans game good huge lady limb support surprised
I'll go out on a huge limb and say that it won't be 30. I would be really surprised if it's 30. It will be a really good game and with the support this community has for the Lady Bears, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't 8,000 fans here.

ball care knew pressure trying turn

We really tried to challenge the front of the rim. And we didn't shoot like we usually do. But, you know, a lot of times we'll shoot it well, but we're 8-of-8 or 9-of-10. That's eight or nine points. Tonight, we got 27 points at the line.

That was one of the greatest thrills we've had here. It was just a monumental win for our program.
