Jen Warden Team Quotations

Clearly, Tulsa is the second-best team we have faced after (No. 2) Duke, and I felt like we competed really well with them. This was one of our most complete games. We just had a couple of lapses down the stretch that cost us.

I do like our position in the bracket, but we've still got to get past that first game. For us and San Diego State, this is our Super Bowl, and both teams are desperate. It's all about this first game, really.

Utah played a pretty nice game, but I think we had a lot to do with that defensively. We definitely played a part in our own undoing. We're close to where we need to be offensively to compete with the top teams in the league but, glaringly, our defense is struggling.

Any win is precious. But wins on the road, when your team is together, are really a positive experience. There's nothing like winning on the road.

We have several opportunities that we have yet to take advantage of and with some home games in the near future, we have to take care of business. We've recently played two teams in the Top 25 and it was a challenge, but now we're ready for the future.

We have learned something new with each game. This team is still one huge experiment. We're ready for the opportunities we have coming up.

I can't say enough about Vanessa. She has really shown courage to this team and played to her full potential starting with the Friday before our Wyoming game.

This was the most inspiring basketball this team has played since I've been here. This is a win for us.
