On if the difference in the crowd between UConn and K-State...
“UConn’s crowd is fantastic, they are very supportive. Their crowd really knows the game well. K-State’s crowd is fantastic as well, it was really great to see a full arena.

We need to understand that women’s basketball is a lovely game and should be looked at as equal compared to men’s basketball.”

“I think we were a little preoccupied with the 3-point shot. We were too quick to go out and contest that shot and we got beat by their penetration to the basket.”
