We stayed aggressive and kept attacking. The way (Oregon State) battled with what they had should be commended.

It started in the Stanford game. We matured and got more aggressive, and stopped playing not to lose. Not having any close games in the preseason and the high ranking (No. 9), all of that played into us having to go through some things, which was good for us. We are young, and we needed to have a few growing pains.

Lisa Willis hit some tough shots and took over a little bit. I knew the more aggressive team was going to win, and I'm disappointed it wasn't us. We'll use it as fuel for the fire.

[Arizona] gives up something on the defensive end. It's possibly something for us to capitalize on.

They have some of the best guards in the conference, and we know this.

The second game isn't going to be anything like the first game; it never is. Arizona has continued to get better.
