Lisa Bluder Game Quotations

We thought we would be able to get the ball inside, and I thought Megan had another very good game for us.

Why not? They have a good inside game and their point guard, I know she's only a freshman, but she does a nice job. She's going to be good before it's all done ... sure Penn State can make some noise.

She's thinking about it way too much. She's definitely struggling shooting. It's nice to win games without her. It forces people to bring their game up another level. That's a good thing, because when we get Crystal back, we'll be a better team because of it.

She's thinking about it way too much. It's nice to be able to win games without her, and it really forces people into a situation where they have to bring their game up another level. I think that's the good part, because when we get Crystal back, maybe we'll even be a better basketball team because of it.

It's a very important game for us. We're both fighting for the same thing. The NCAA has taken five from the Big Ten Conference for as long as I can remember.

Megan maybe is putting too much pressure on herself in the starting position, because this is two games in a row that it's happened. She's picked up over-the-back calls, things she knows better (than to do).

I don't remember being part of a game that got off to such a bad start and where we were able to come back. I thought it was an incredible test of character. Crystal really challenged our team with a gut-check in our timeout. She was pretty emotional about how to change the level of play.

I hope that this game doesn't become the deciding factor. I hope that they'll look at our Big Ten schedule as a whole and our body of work, rather than just a one-game performance.
