"You have to weather those eight or nine point runs, you can't be afraid of them because they always happen when you are playing a good team who isn't going to let you run away and win by 20. They are going to come back and you have to have an understanding and focus right then of `Ok, now lets get back to business'."
"We were very successful early against the full court press, but later in the game sometimes the mistakes are your own. You get a little tentative when you get a lead and we needed to overcome that and be a little bit more "Listen you know, get a lay up let's go.' What easier way to score than to try to be more aggressive after we were somewhat defensive there for a few possessions."
Forward Kalee Whipple
"I don't really think it was me, I think it was my teammates getting me open shots. We run an offense that is set up to set screens and all that kind of stuff, which if you do you are going to get open shots."
"A lot of people outside of the world of basketball think that (Pac-10 teams) are supposed to be better, because we are just in the Mountain West and we are just a small team. It is a lot of fun playing big teams like that when they don't really expect much from you and you come out there and show them what you've got."
