We knew they were much bigger than us defensively, but our key was to rotate and be where were supposed to be. We had to have a lot of ball-crashing and we did that. Nine players dressed and everybody contributed.
We knew they (South Carolina State) were smaller. We wanted to get the ball inside and take advantage of our size.
The only two newcomers that play significant minutes last year have been hurt this year. This team just needed time for growth and maturity.
She's extremely athletic and she has a good understanding of the game. She gets after it on the basketball court and she just has a good overall package.
On the road we just haven't played up to out potential. Today (Saturday) we defended well and forced them (South Carolina State) to take bad shots.
(Hughes) had a pretty solid career. I'm most happy about her growth and development as a human being. She is really taking on a leadership role.
I think the players have finally begun to find themselves. Defensively, we have a better understanding of what we are trying to do.
I think her leadership qualities are released more and more each day when she is around these younger players. She gives us everything she has, and that is all I can ask.
We need help at the point and in the post. I think the people we bring in will complement the players that we already have.
We are going to take care of that. We have to perform on the road the way we have performed at home.
We knew that if we could stop her (Bowman), that would be half the battle for us.
Turnovers have seemed to be our demise all season. Turnovers cost us scoring opportunities. We just have to get better.
I told her (Kindred) in the locker room 'outstanding minutes', just real steady. She rebounded. She made her free throws. (She played) a great overall game.
Their strength all year has been to press. I guess when you're small you have to try to speed the tempo of the game up. I thought we did an excellent job breaking the press.
I'm real encouraged about next year. I feel we could have done a lot better this year with the people that we have. That was a disappointment, but we can't go back. We have to move forward and learn from what we did.
I really did expect it. I knew she was very, very talented, but I just didn't know she would do as well as she did so early. She turned out to be a big factor for us as a freshman.
You can't put (Delaware State) on the line 19 times in the first half and be playing defense.
