Tony Cross Quotations

She's not getting as open of a look as she did last year. In the past she relied a lot on her scoring. Her scoring is down a little bit (after averaging 12.9 points last season), but she has added so much to our team. She has certainly become a complete player.

We didn't have enough time to get her the ball. We had to get a quick shot off and we got a pretty good look. It just didn't fall.

It wasn't long until I realized she was the best post player we had. I wised up in a hurry.

I told her the only bad shots she's taken are the shots she didn't take. She's passed up some good three-point shots, but she certainly doesn't force anything.

It's part of the business, going through the ups and downs; you just have to stick through it. A lot of soldiers live around here and do business, so anytime they have a deployment at Fort Benning it affects us.

They know where she is on the floor. They always put their best defender on her. They find her early in our offense and they stay pretty close to her.
