Lin Laursen Good Quotations

We're going to take a couple of days off, then we'll get to work getting ready for Kansas. There's still some work to do, and there's still plenty of room to get better. The way we played tonight wasn't good enough to get it done, but we won and we're going. That's all that mattered.

I guess it's fair to everybody, but I think the extra day of rest is a good thing. When we first got here, it seems like it was forever before we played. But now we've played two games in two nights, so an extra day of rest will be good for us.

Our Big 3 is as good of a frontcourt combination as we've had here, and they certainly played well. They're all having phenomenal years and phenomenal careers. Teams might be able to stop one of them, but the package is pretty dangerous.

We made a statement tonight. There's not a lot I can complain about. We played awfully well. If we play like this, or anywhere close to this in the next two games, I think we're going to be in good shape.

Defense turned to offense, but it all started on defense. We were able to do that against a good team. They'd won 17 in a row coming in here and are better than most No. 16 seeds you'll see.

It was a good night to stuff the stat sheets. Danielle had a great night. She just plays so hard and with such heart all the time.
