We didn't do a very good job of defending dribble-drives tonight and I think we're better than that.

We didn't get a lot of production out of our point guard position.

We had a couple kids that got away from us and we need to do a better job defensively on those kids.

I fully expect every game we play from here on out to be a war and a possession-by-possession game.

We tried to make changes, bring in different people to move the ball up the court but we only have one point guard.

Van's had two back-to-back really good games against Ball State, and I thought her energy level is really something we could feed off of.

I give Bowling Green credit. I think they're a very, very good basketball team and there's a reason why they're 17-2. They're a great team.
