Our team did a tremendous job of fighting back from behind * this team is on a mission. We showed a lot of composure and tremendous commitment tonight. Our bench showing the amount of depth we had is very promising as we go into SEC play. |
Our team did a very good job of finding Danielle and our seniors showed great leadership down the stretch. Sarah Lowe did a tremendous job of finding Danielle and then after she hit one, did a good job of finding her again. That strategy of going to and finding the hot hand worked. Danielle had the guts to step up and want to win the game. She wasn't tentative or hesitant and played like a senior. |
Sam Mahoney really stepped up big for Kentucky today. She was very offensive-minded. Today she was able - getting late in the shot clock a few times - she was able to make things happen, being able to score and finish. |
Sarah Lowe is an amazing competitor. She does a tremendous job of distributing the ball and igniting our defense. She handles pressure very well and is a big part of why we're in the NCAA Tournament. |
She doesn't get hung up on, 'I'm a freshman,' or overanalyzing it. She just wants to play the game. She just wants to get back into the flow. |
She took our last loss very hard. But her numbers did not project the heart she played with. She knows that she's going to do better. |
Teams are playing on passion and emotion and they really turn up their focus. That's what makes (for) such great games when you get to the SEC Tournament. |
The [Southeastern Conference], it's a dog fight night-in and night-out. The production and consistency has got to be there nightly. |
The first two minutes of the second half were key to taking control of the game. |
The season didn't end the way that we wanted it to. But I think this year's team did a lot of great things for Florida basketball, the milestones they hit. |
There's a reason why they had been moved up to No. 1 in the country [last season], and now they're still vying for that spot. |
They are going to be highly remembered. When you look at where they started and where they've come, I'm proud of them. |
They are very grounded. They're not in [the locker room] lying around and patting themselves on the back. |
They just left it on the floor. |
They shot the ball well. The first half we dug ourselves in a big hole. We didn't do a good job. We knew New Mexico had shooters. |
