“I?m just tired. That was rough. Those last 10 seconds were a lifetime, as usual against Michigan State.”
Ashley Allen
“I had a wonderful four years at Michigan State and they did a great job preparing me for the NHL. We played tough competition so it was pretty easy for me to step right in when I went to the NHL. I went directly to the NHL and quite a few other Michigan State players have done the same thing.”
Anson Carter
“There was a mood on campus that this was going to be the next Michigan State.”
John Newton
“We had to beat Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan State and Purdue in a row to win the Big Ten. I think we had maybe a collective sigh of relief Thursday. I think the sigh lasted about 48 hours and one half.”
Jim Foster
“With outsourcing, with NAFTA-we call it SHAFTA in the state of Michigan-but truly we have struggled with the global economy.”
Jennifer M. Granholm
“We weren't supposed to beat Michigan State, and we beat them. We weren't supposed to beat North Carolina, and we sure weren't supposed to beat Connecticut. So I think we're going to just stick with the script. If folks want to call us a Cinderella, then that's OK.”
Tony Skinn
“Against Michigan State, we just played lackadaisical. Here, it's a different setting. You hit one shot, and the crowd gets into it.”
