we just couldn't shut the door. This game isn't always fair, but it wasn't fair to Utah last weekend, so I made that reference. We came back and beat Utah in the same fashion that we lost this one today. Sometimes not fair, but you've got to bounce back and
be a competitor and come out fighting and swinging. This team's done that all year, so that's what I expect out of them tomorrow. But I’m really proud of the girls and the way they fought and gave themselves a chance against that red-hot team.”</span></p>
