Against Quotes
We needed to have patience in terms of looking for high-percentage shots. Against a zone, they're strongest off those first four or five passes. Sometimes we'll get a little impatient if we've passed the ball four or four times and haven't shot yet. If you take your time, reverse the basketball, get 15-20 passes, you're going to get a good look against a zone because they start getting tired, they start losing some of that mental focus.

Clock Quotes
We're not used to having a lead like that and we panicked a little, but we showed the composure that we needed to put the game away. In the second half, we had two spells where we ran more than a minute off the clock each time, and like I told the girls that's another minute we don't have to play defense.

Asked Quotes
Tonight our defense was just fantastic. The girls did everything we asked them to and they just worked really hard. The last time we played Knoxville, they scored something like 62 points on us, but tonight - due to the intensity the girls showed - we were able to shut down everything they tried to do.

Attitude Quotes

Ability Quotes
Ashley brought her all-around game to the gym every night. There really isn't any part of the game that she can't do, and her ability to shoot the three really helped us open up our offense. On the defensive side, she is just a very, very hard worker and that work ethic rubs off on the other players.
