We're very grateful to be here, although I wish we had played better. But you have to give Oklahoma a lot of credit. They're well-coached and well-organized. They know how to spread the floor and get the ball where it needs to be.

I think we're one team that has the interior presence to stay with Oklahoma. I'm not sure if anyone in the Big 12 had the size to compete. But we have to stay out of foul trouble.

I am enormously grateful to Mr Fawcett for all he has done over many years and I wish him well with his new business.

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.

You've got to give Iowa a lot of credit, being down and not quitting. I knew they wouldn't quit.

Courtney Paris has almost a third of their team's rebounds this season and her twin sister, Ashley, has almost another third. We have to do a good job at not giving them second and third shot opportunities.
