Joanne McCallie Game Quotations

I thought this was the kind of game you have to win in the NCAA Tournament to keep moving (on).

That was really a tremendous game for a lot of reasons for us. Loved the rebounding advantage. When you have that kind of ball pressure and that kind of rebounding, only good things can happen.

Of course this game is urgent, but I thought we were urgent and in the moment against Ohio State. People assume the team that advanced to the national championship game returned, and that team did not return. We're a young team, and we're learning how to be urgent. The key is to be consistently attacking.

It was a good game for us to work on rebounding and making some tough plays. We had a lot of people contributing, playing and producing, and that's got to be a habit as we take on these games.

It was a good defensive game for us. It was good to see the defensive pressure. It's important to be stingy in the Big Ten tournament and beyond that. Now it's all about how we extend our season and how good we are in the postseason, because that's what it's all about.

A boring, pathetic game like we played doesn't attract fans of any kind.

I felt we had a good team defensive effort. It was a good game for us to really focus on rebounding.
