We lost the ball game in the first half. I don't have any excuses for this team. I don't know when they're going to show up and play. |
We really wanted them to try to make a lot of outside shots. I thought we did a nice job of limited Humphrey's touches. ... We thought we had to guard her with a guard and a half. |
We remembered that. They had the ball and every opportunity to beat us in the last seconds. You want your team to respect every opponent regardless of record. Our team really respected this team. |
We were frustrated, but we did not have any quit in us. |
We were more committed and more aggressive defensively. We opened the game running a switching man, and that allowed us to keep constant pressure on the basketball. We just kept pressure on them. |
We were on defense, and I heard 'Defense' so loud, it was like a home game. I can't believe they're yelling 'Defense,' so obviously they feel the way I do about the weakness of our team right now. |
We were pleased we are able to get the tempo up at times. You have to control the paint and we did that. |
We weren't good in any aspect of our game tonight. |
We wish them success in all of their future endeavors. |
We'd been working on it since we played them in Knoxville. But we hadn't used it. |
We'll continue to do a lot of teaching and skill work in the next few weeks, ... but this already feels more like a veteran team. |
We're facing a new opponent and trying to learn as much as we can about Army at this time and get ready for March Madness. |
We're Tennessee. It's not like anyone is going to feel sorry for us. We have yet to buy into defense. We have to bring that every possession. |
We've built this fan base not on scheduling patsies. We've built it on bringing in the top opponents throughout the country from a lot of conferences and our fans deserve that. We also think that to be the best you have to play the best. |
We've just been a very poor defensive team in a lot of games. |
