We felt going in that their strength was their experience and that they are defensively sound. They have nice size inside and quickness at the guards. We knew that would be an issue; we knew we had to execute.

We thought it was a stress fracture. She went in two weeks ago and found another small break. She's been in a small cast and she'll go in Friday to see if they are going to release her. We have no idea if that will happen or not. There is a possibility she'll be back for the tournament, and that's what we are sort of shooting for.

There's been a half-dozen possessions and we can be sitting here 14-1. But when we've been in close games we do not make good decisions. Game in and game out, when we handle the basketball and if we can keep our turnovers somewhere between 15 or 16 instead of 22 or 23, we can play with anybody.

I hope we might be able to make some noise in the postseason. We've played with everybody outside Lexington (Ky.) Catholic, and our schedule has been tough.

The 3-point shooting didn't surprise us. We knew that was their strength last year and this year. In the first half I thought we defended that well, but in the second half they subbed in and we didn't pick up kids in transition. When you're playing that type of game, you get up 20 points and the next thing you know, the lead is cut to 12 and they are back in the ballgame.

Our whole team's different so I'm just glad we've gotten this far. It's been an interesting year. At one time, I think, we were 7-4, and now we're sitting here at 18-5 so we've been playing some pretty good basketball the last two months.

We actually made good decisions with the ball. We don't do that all the time. It's been an interesting year as far as some of our decision-making at the end of basketball games. I thought we did some real good things and had a lot of composure. That's been a tough one for us.

It's special because very few times that I've been coaching have we been what I would say the underdog. If you told me after watching us play in November that we'd be here in March, I'd say no way.

We played with composure and we controlled the clock. It was real basketball and it's taken us a long time to get here.

Being here is the icing on the cake. Right now we're trying to put the cherry on top.
