I just love what's happened to Air Force. Gone are the days when that's anybody's automatic win.

I really like that Julie's overall game is improving. She is getting to the rim. She can shot-fake you and put it on the floor.

I remember asking the question to my assistant, 'Now where is she scoring and how? Well, she gets it close to the basket, spins and scores. There must be a reason. They can't stop it.

I really think that the Albuquerque fans are excited to have a Mountain West team, and I think they are behind us. It's a great feeling and a great testament to their community and their love of the game.

In the end, we did not keep the mass off the glass. But until the end, we did a very good job.

I'm emotional right now. It means a lot. This community has been slow to embrace women's sports. I'm happy for our kids. They know people care.

I'm happy about the progress of our team.

Arizona State is going to be willing to go to the rim and be aggressive. We have to be aggressive as well. We're not going to extend ourselves on defense. Offensively, we have to do what we can and take what they give us.

Excuse me if I cry, OK? Here's the deal with all three of those kids . . . what we've done in this four-year span is actually the best four-year span we've ever had. I coach at Utah because of the love I have for a lot of things about being here. It's not about one thing. It's not about winning at the highest level. I love being here, and they provided that kind of ride for me.

That's always the most difficult thing, when you have a team that you don't have a place to cheat (defensively). They have a great inside game and support it with great shooters.
