Susan Walvius Quotations

Honestly, I believed we could win this game.

We had opportunities and we turn the ball over and we're better than that. We worked to not hold the ball for so long because it strengthens the defense. Sometimes in those stretches, we tried to make the home run pass for the easy score but ended up turning it over.

Stacy really cares about winning. She wants to shoot the ball, and she's really tough on herself. We really need her shooting and the way she gets after the ball defensively.

We were able to take Arkansas' strengths away from them, and it was really a solid all around defensive effort. The nice thing about our basketball team is you are going to have a different person step up on any night of the week.

I thought Ilona and the rest of the low post players did an excellent job. We've been working on that all year and tonight I think we were finally able to execute it and take advantage of our size inside.

She's really hard to guard. She's arguably the best player in the SEC because of her versatility, her physical strength and her ability to step out and shoot the basketball.

She's just starting to get back into the loop. And I think sometimes the SEC can be a little daunting for all freshmen when you're looking at kids that you've had their poster up on your wall. When you're facing a Georgia or Tennessee, we need to work her in and let her get a feel for the game.

Lauren's not afraid to shoot the ball. She's a fearless player, and that's what we need right now.

Lauren is a leader by example. She's passionate about the game and does a good job. She is a different type of player than I've coached in the past. She's really unselfish and will do whatever it takes to win.

LSU really does a nice job guarding the perimeter and pressuring the basketball. The one thing LSU does different from other teams is they have extremely active hands on the ball. They get a lot of deflections and play the passing lanes. Teams tend to throw (ball) away because it looks like the passing lanes are open.
