Carolyn Compton Quotations

We came out pretty strong. I think they had a little bit of a chip on their shoulders. That's what they needed.

We just couldn't get the offense rolling. We were dominating on defense in the first half, but we made a few a key turnovers at the wrong time and they turned it around.

I told them there was no way they could be satisfied, and unless they wanted to be embarrassed, they needed to get on it.

We had a few silly fouls that we'll need to get rid of if we are to step up at the next level.

We'll see if we can pick up the energy this week. It's a new season now, and they know where they want to be.

I think it kind of made them a little bit angry. It was something that we needed, maybe, to get a little chip on the shoulder and play a little harder. I think they did that Saturday, and they've done the same in practice this week.

We've been waiting for a few weeks for them to explode on somebody. We played fast and used a lot of steals to get a lot of fast-break opportunities. The refs down here also called our style of basketball, which is a little more pushing both ways. That really riled us up and got us going.

We had a lot of opportunities. They didn't really hurt us defensively too much. They were physical, and they made us work for every rebound, but we really just did it to ourselves. We played some of the best defense I've ever seen, but we just couldn't equal it on the offensive side.

We've been playing great defense, but we've got to decrease the foul count and find some offense.

That was part of it. I don't want to say Katie just had six points, because she was out there playing the game with a black eye, and she was everywhere doing what Katie does, but we really did struggle offensively.
