Joanne McCallie Good Quotations

LSU did a great job. We took care of their zone pretty easily, but then they played a lot of man and did a good job with it. I'm not pleased with our team's toughness. We really need to be strong on the court. It was a good lesson for us, but not at all the kind of basketball we play.

I don't think people (Purdue) will be unbeaten. I just think there are too many good teams and too many teams doing good things. I can't say when that will occur or I can't say how that will occur but I just think that the league is too good. ... It's a stronger conference this year, especially in the middle portion of it.

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.

The time off till next Friday will be a very good thing. Our seniors have logged a lot of minutes. I'd like for Lindsay and Liz to go get a massage or something, to live a little.

It was just a great test of character, grit (and) courage. They did get a pretty good look at the end but I was happy with the way we matched up. I did like the contest that Liz gave at the end. That ball was not going in.

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.

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