She's such a great kid, and I'm really hoping she'll be able to play in the CAA Tournament. She's had such a great career and we've won all these games. As a senior, you always want to see a kid finish in the championship tournament.

Obviously, we are very disappointed for Amanda and our team. She has been such an important part of our program. We will continue to compete and play as hard as possible and reach the goals that we have set for this season.

I think it gives the northern extent of this conference hope that maybe someday they can host the tournament, too, since we don't use a neutral site like the men do.

I'm so happy everyone paid attention in the huddle. We had a secondary option, which was Melissa, and, fortunately, she hit the pull-up jump shot.

We'll get those results, brace her, get her into physical therapy and see if she'll be able to play in the tournament.

We're hoping to get County Judge Ron Daniel, Sheriff Ray Wingfield and other county officials dunked.

We had our opportunities. We had some real good looks, both inside and outside, and we weren't able to knock down shots. That basically was our demise, because we definitely had an opportunity to beat them here.

Courtney had to step up to the plate and deliver for us if we were going to be competitive. Thankfully, she did that after she took the initiative of looking to score, looking to defend, trying to rebound.

They're playing much better now. We're trying to get in that top four and get that bye, so we really have to keep our composure and play as hard as we can to achieve our goal.

It's a team loss, but I blame myself, too, today. We win as a team and we lose as a team, and this loss was very disappointing. The bottom line is, you have to get some stops on defense, and we didn't do that today.

It's not the end of the world. There's a long way to go yet. We played well today. We couldn't limit their athleticism. They hurt us on the boards. They're bigger than us and more athletic than us, and we weren't able to delete that from their game. And we lost our composure at times.

It's big from the standpoint of it gives us an opportunity to showcase our arena and to play at home. It's not guaranteeing you're going to win it. You've got to play basketball. But it's exciting for our players and our fans.

They will squash you like a bug if you don't show up and play.

Hopefully, it'll kick start an interest in our conference. It's a step in the right direction for us as a women's program to be able to host the tournament and for our administration to make that effort. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but I'm very happy about it.
