Kerri Burke Quotations

If we cut down on half of those rebounds, it could have been a closer game.

That's because walking down the hallways or around campus, I've just been smiling. I can't help myself.

I was real excited, I was nervous. Our crowd, I thought, was better than theirs they definitely got us into the game. I can't even describe how I felt running out there and people going crazy just for us.

We can't go to Monmouth and think we're going to roll over them. But if we go into every game ready like we were today, we'll play our best. I hope Monmouth brings out the best in us.

We'll go anywhere. Just to be here is so amazing. I can't even explain how we're feeling right now, and it's so special because there's not many people that get this feeling. So if I go to Bridgeport, I'll go.

We played 12 girls tonight and that lead never changed. That shows you how deep you are.

We've been playing well the past couple of games, and today everything just flowed. We just had a lot of fun out there tonight. Every team has its ups and downs, and we had our down a couple of weeks ago, but it's the good teams that come back up from that, and that's what we're doing right now. It's definitely the best time to start getting together.

We changed our defense from the first game. We took (Erin) Kerner away in the middle of the court and she's their offense. You take her away and it hurts their team.

It's not going to be easy at all. It's two different teams with two totally different playing styles, so we have to go out and try to start off the game our way so they have to adjust their ways and play to us, instead of us trying to change our ways and play their style.

It's definitely a big game. It'll be the better team that wins. You never know. We have to play our 'A' game that day. It's going to be a fight no matter what. We didn't play well that game and we didn't deserve to win. Hopefully we can come back and redeem ourselves.

The second half, they brought a different part of their game. Their post players are unbelievable, and I don't think they missed in the second half from 3.
