She's going to have a place to play in Europe, many, many times over, if she wants to once she finishes her degree here.

She's going to make her mark here on campus in other ways than just basketball.

That stretch was critical, because I thought we had played great but just couldn't make a shot. When you have Tiffany Rodd and Ashley Fann open for threes as many times as they were, you're just waiting for the scoreboard to light up like a pinball machine. But the shots weren't falling.

The biggest thing is we've got to take care of our business (tonight). I know we'll catch (High Point's) best effort.

The perfect scenario would be for Asheville to lose, Radford to lose and I believe we host.

The staff joked that we ought to move the game to Northwestern High School because we seem to play better on the road.

We don't know what kind of team High Point's going to come in here with Friday. I thought they were a good team when we played 'em. We played them the game that kind of started our mid-season skid. We played awful and lost by six at their place.

We expected a tough challenge today. The difference in the game at Radford was that we out-rebounded them by 14 and we hit eight out of 14 three's. So we figured that with the fact they had a week to practice basically getting ready they were going to do a good job challenging us at the 3-point line and be a little tougher on the boards. That was obviously the difference in the game.

We finally clicked a little bit in the second half today. Defensively we played the three-point line well in the second and we finally made some baskets. It seemed as if the lid was on the basket in the past few games, but tonight we were able to get them to fall.

We'll just keep pushing on because we don't have any other choice.
|
We're disappointed in the loss. But we're encouraged by how hard we battled and look forward to the when the Flames come to the coliseum.

We're just happy to still be alive. We'll keep playing. Defensively, we were pretty good (Tuesday). Offensively, we were just as good, but we missed a lot of little shots. But the kids played really well.
|
We're not going to quit. We're going to keep moving ahead, try to salvage another couple of wins here and maybe get a little bit of momentum going.
|
We're thrilled to get some recognition. Last year, my first year here, I felt like we were observers to the Big South Conference. This year we are participants and we've got some things to build on in the future. Maybe start a little tradition here.

When you go on the road and you're trying to steal the crown away from the champion, you can't bring your C-plus game and today we were a bit off our game. You have to credit Liberty with being physical and doing a good job at protecting its home court. We had an opportunity to get the game in our favor over the final six minutes of the first half and opening six of the second, but we couldn't take advantage.
