She's a player I thought was about to explode. I could tell by the way she was shooting the ball in practice.

Our guards didn't try to do too much with the basketball.

It was a very special day for those two young ladies. It was very important for this basketball program to get a win for them.

We battled; we played hard. We played a great 45 minutes of basketball. To be honest, we had three opportunities in overtime to win it and just couldn't execute.

I was pleased with the adjustment we made at halftime. I was also pleased with our ability to compete on the basketball floor in the second half. That was something we had to do. We had to step it up a notch at halftime. ... It was exciting to see that kind of explosive offensive performance in that short amount of time in the second half.

It was a very positive game tonight. I think that proves to me and to a lot of people that this basketball team is heading in the right direction, and is probably good enough on any given night to beat some of the best teams in the region.

We didn't give up. It was a hostile environment (with 3,500 fans in White Auditorium) and a rough basketball game. To come back and play well speaks a lot for the character of this basketball team.
