I think we're kind of on a mission now. We don't want to lose another game from here on out, so we're going after every game like it's our last game. It should show when we play.

We've lost the last two years in that game to get to the Final Four. To finally get over that, I think we'll be more relaxed once we start playing again.

We are looking to get into the No. 1 spot because that would mean we won the game. Neither one of us wants to lose that position. It will be a fight out there, and whoever survives will win the game.

I think I was frustrated early on because we weren't playing very well. I guess we woke up. We got things together, got things rolling.

I think since I've been here, our fan base has gotten larger and larger. I think we're used to playing in front of pretty big crowds. It's not like the men's crowds. I think we have a good amount of fans, and I think we're comfortable playing in those situations, those environments.

We felt great at halftime. We scored the first basket of the second half (but) we didn't really get the stops that we needed to maintain the lead that we had. They just slowly crept up on us and took the lead.
