Miscellaneous quotes from Iowa, Stanford

Here are some leftover quotes that didn't make the paper:

KELLY KREI

"It's no mistake that we're the underdog, but we have nothing to lose in this game. We're just going to go out and give it all we have and hope to finish on top."

LISA BLUDER

"We know Stanford is a tremendous basketball team. I'm trying to remind (my team) of all the upsets."

TARA VANDERVEER

"What have I learned about Iowa? I've learned that we shouldn't sit in a compact zone.

VANDERVEER, referring to the Hawks by numbers, not names ...

"Their point guard, 2 (Wahlin), is an excellent shooter ... 24 (Printy), she's an excellent shooter. She can score ... 20 (Krei) and 12 (Johnson), they stepped up ... 50 (Machado) works very hard ... 21 (Alexander) creates a lot with her penetration."

VANDERVEER

"We're going to look to score. They're going to look to score. It could be a very exciting game to watch and a very challenging game to coach."

ROSALYN GOLD-ONWUDE

"Jayne (Appel) takes the attention and makes the rest of us a whole lot better."

BLUDER (last week, on her children's basketball skills)

"Hannah plays on a sixth-grade team. Emma could care less. It's all social for her. David has a nice shot for a 7-year-old. He can completely read a stat sheet. He learned his math from basketball. I don't ever want them to feel pressure to play because their mom is a coach."
