Kim talked about them having a target on their back, and when you defeat the No. 4 team in the country, you all of a sudden have become a target yourself — and that's OK. Any coach would prefer being a target versus chasing one.

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders.

I learned much more from defeat than I ever learned from winning

First time all year I thought we lost our poise.

The teams that Oklahoma has played and the minutes that Courtney Paris has put in, I don't know how anyone can consider her a freshman. I'm just hoping the WNBA calls her and tries to get her out of school early, because she's an incredible talent.

I don't see how we couldn't be in. I don't feel like I've got to boast or pump up what we've done. That should already be happening.
