Kay Yow Win Quotations

I have a lot of respect for George Washington. We played well tonight, but had more turnovers than we would have liked and missed really important free throws. This was a very important non-conference win for us that will pay dividends down the road and as we begin ACC play on Monday.

We are fortunate to come out of here with a win tonight. Billie McDowell had a great game for us and all of our players that came off the bench played a key role in our win.

This is now a mind-over-matter thing. We saw coming in that we would have to play four games in the bracket (to win the title). We'll go back and rest and we'll eat well. It's going to be a two-hour game. We love the game, so it's not like we're doing something we hate. How tired can we be? We can't be tired.

It will be tough. But we have to win Game 1 before we worry about it, so it's not even in my thoughts right now.

Not to pick this game up tonight means we really have got to come through somewhere and win a game or two that nobody expects us to win. It just seemed that in the second half our defensive intensity wasn't there until the last four or five minutes.
