Texas Tech Coach Kristy Curry's post-game quote:
"We thought tonight was a must win, as a staff, I think that we tried to educate our team because we have not been to this point. The process of educating them on the situation as far as where we are at, the situation we have gotten ourselves into and understanding our resume. It is huge, and we are 5-1 against the north. We were both 17-7, they have five wins and now we have five wins. We have beaten the top two teams in the north. The difference comes in the fact that we are about to play No. 1 Baylor, No. 5 A&M, No. 15 Oklahoma and Texas on the road, and they are about to play a different schedule. So, I think it is important come selection time that the two wins that really come into play are going to be huge and will be Kansas State and Iowa State.... Iowa State is a great team. To me Bill Fennelly is the best coach in this league, and I hope no one takes offense to that because there are some great coaches, but to have the opportunity we knew they weren't going to go away and then to be able to finish was huge for our confidence and who we are trying to become in the future."
