Kristy Curry Kids Quotations

She's the most enjoyable player on our team. Our kids absolutely love her.

I wouldn't want to handle the ball against her. She's just amazing ... She really creates a presence for us. It's funny how people react to that, with coming up and trying to screen her and kids wanting to get rid of the ball, having other people bringing the ball up the floor. It's really given us a different dimension.

I thought our kids showed a lot of perseverance down the stretch. There were a lot of little things people did that made a big difference.

It said a lot about our kids in the second half. If we can carry the second half into the NCAA Tournament, I think we can play with anyone. It's 64 teams and four will end up in Boston and we feel like we have as good a chance as anybody.

The biggest thing was not letting them have quick shots and not give them a lot of confidence early in the game. Our kids took a lot of pride in the fact that we wanted to hold them to at least one point under their average. We were able do that.

It's interesting because the kids were talking about that and still weren't able to do anything about it.

It was a great Big Ten battle. It was physical and I thought our kids didn't back down from the challenge.

I think our kids understand who Southwest Missouri is and what they're all about.

The communication between them is often silent ? just a movement or an expression. They really feed off each other and know each other like the back of their hand. It's been fun to watch two kids that are so different really become close as teammates.
