Opening Statement: "This was an outstanding basketball game. I have to give Colorado a ton of credit. They never went away, they made big plays and they hit big shots. This was a terrific game to be involved in and while I would have liked to defend them a little better, I'll take the win not to mention they are pretty darn hard to defend. This game was a reflection of how tough this league is."
On the Iowa State fans presence in the last minutes of the game:
"I thought we were in Ames, Iowa for a minute. I was confused. We'll have that factor to deal with hopefully tomorrow. You have to give Iowa State credit because both of their basketball teams are incredible. Their fans are unbelievable and they will go anywhere. They are just rabid and you have to love that."
On the tempo of the game: "We really wanted to push the ball. Colorado tried to stop us and really made it difficult for us. We knew what Colorado was capable of playing tough defense and we did expect the tempo of the game."
On consistently playing well against Colorado: "I stay out of foul trouble. That's huge for me because I can get a feel for the game. If I am in foul trouble I have to play safe on defense. It might not necessarily have been Colorado but to stay in the game I hopefully can put up some points and rebounds."
On her play so far in the tournament: "I just come in and they leave me open so I just shoot. That's basically it. I shoot the ball and hope it goes in. That's all there is to it."
