I thought we played hard, but I thought we had too many mental breakdowns. We weren't making very many reads, we weren't cutting hard to the ball.

Now we've got to go to North Dakota and win up there.

I don't think we understood what it took. We haven't been in that situation - since I have been here - in a game situation like that, where you are playing to go to Nationals and in a conference tournament championship. We haven't been in a game of that importance. So it was very good for us to be put in that situation.

Their guards have hurt us. They've shot the ball really well against us. Hopefully, we can get out on their shooters a little better.

Their zone has hurt us the last couple times. The key is spreading them out and getting to the basket. We have to make good decisions. It's a thing where if you can be smart, you can get good shots.

I feel real good about our team coming back.

They do a lot of great things. They are pretty solid with the ball. Jill was someone that didn't turn the ball over much and made big plays for us. Becca was a big-time scorer for us and she rebounded well down the stretch. They were a big part of our team.

They killed us on the offensive glass early in the second half.

I am very pleased with how we ended. We ended very strong. Our goal is to get better. For a stretch there (in the season) we were kind of stagnate. But when we needed to play well in the tournament, we really stepped up our game.

We didn't establish ourselves the second half. They came out and got two three-point plays. They asserted themselves and we didn't.
