On the game...
“I knew the game was going to be hard. K-State is so good on the offensive end. They are so consistent. They make you play tough defense for 28 seconds and then put down really tough shots. We couldn’t have any lapses on the defensive end of the floor. Nina (
On senior guard Jamie Carey...
“Jamie (Carey) really started out well. She was coming off of a game that was real un-Jamie-like where she didn’t shoot the ball very well against Texas Tech.
