This is a great opportunity for us. We want to see if we can play with them. We want to see if we've improved.
More Quotes from Tom Collen:
Sometimes when you feel a little embarrassed you respond better. This is a brutal stretch (Rutgers, at DePaul, Connecticut, Marquette, at Pittsburgh). It's kind of like a death march. We're more familiar with DePaul, but we have to find a way to come back. DePaul doesn't have the mystique like Rutgers. I think we came into Rutgers with a little fear.Tom Collen
Last time we played, they just flat out stepped up and shot the basketball. But without Meg, West Virginia certainly is a different team. She is a great all-around player. But they still have talent.

I was very pleased with our second-half effort. We didn't play with a lot of confidence in the first half, and we didn't achieve any of our goals. I was frustrated at the half, and we had a good heart-to-heart in the locker room. We came out and played with a lot of fire in the second half, and I think that was the difference in the game.

They have a great atmosphere there. The fans are very exuberant theyre right on top of you. Its very loud there. They have a great home-court advantage.

I don't think we saw this coming. I thought we were ready. But there are not many conferences who can boast a 12 seed as good as West Virginia. We approached this game like we were the underdog having lost to them, but maybe that wasn't the right way to do it.

After last game, we needed to get Jazz more into our offense today. She was 12-for-12 from the floor last game and this one she only took seven shots. But our entire offense couldn't do anything against Rutgers. They shut us down.
