HOLLY ROWE: I'm intrigued about the psychology of this game. You've already locked up the Big Ten championship, but you're on the road at a sold out building. How do you approach this game psychologically?

TERI MOREN: Well, you know, throughout the season, we've talked about writing this book, and we kind of like the chapter so far, but this is sort of the ending of this chapter, right? 

And then the Big Ten tournament will become a new book, and so we've kept it in perspective. It's gonna be a great crowd today. We know that and two great teams competing against one another, but you know this is what we've done. We've just taken one game at a time, and I love this group and their focus.

HOLLY ROWE: First Big Ten championship since 1983. It's been 40 years. How are you embracing that but realizing there's still work to do ahead?

TERI MOREN: Well, again, we're a team that's gonna always celebrate right 24 hours and then the next day it's back to work. That's what's made this program work, and so I'm excited for our players, certainly in our program. But, you know, we have a tall task today in Iowa and we've moved on from the championship.

HOLLY ROWE: Okay, if this is the first time people are seeing Indiana women's basketball on TV today, what do they need to know about this team?

TERI MOREN: Well, this is special team. They obviously share the ball. They're stingy defensively. We're led by two great players in Mackenzie Holmes and Grace Berger, but they have some special pieces around, so this is a group that their chemistry is off the charts. They're fun to watch. They're tough, they're gritty, and I love coaching them.

HOLLY ROWE: Can't wait to keep reading this chapter. Thank you.
