"Well, it's great to be back in front of our fans at (Simon Skjodt) Assembly Hall, in front of our fans, it was nice to have some noise, some real noise. We were obviously excited for this night, to be here. It's always a great opportunity when you play your entire team and get to see some of the things we do in practice, and if they are going to work, if they're working, if we're getting better. I thought tonight our effort was there, of course it wasn't, by any stretch of means, a great offensive performance. I thought we had moments of, I was frustrated with our free throw shooting, obviously, and the fact we got out-rebounded, that's never a good thing. But I overheard Mackenzie talking about what this will give us. It'll give us good film, great film that we can do a lot of teaching come tomorrow. But I thought for the first night, anytime it's the first time for things, for our freshman especially, and Caitlin Hose, I thought they handled themselves in a great way. That was obviously good to see, but I think our vets are who they are, who they have been, but we'll sure up some things tomorrow and come Wednesday in Indianapolis, it's for real."
