I didn't have to call a timeout to draw that play up. I could have called that from the floor. Those are kids. They play with emotion just like I coach with emotion. That's what Brown did. |
I don't think that there is any question that we're a different team than when we played them. We were just dealing with some things at that time that affected us. |
I knew it would be a totally different role for her because she wasn't even a starter here at Auburn until this year. She had a lot put on her plate and she answered the bell to all that. It's like, 'Here, boom, this is what's on your plate right now, go do it.' I'm very proud of her for that. |
I think she's absolutely amazing. I've seen a lot of basketball players, but I have not seen another player that is as physically gifted as that young lady. Ever. |
I think this team has played very hungry. I'm really proud of their focus. |
I thought she was outstanding in the second half. She came out and really gave us all she had. At 6-foot-4 and able to handle the ball, she's hard to defend against. |
It made a big difference. It gave us a lot of confidence going into the half. Confidence is really important at this point -- to just feel good about what you're doing. That was huge. |
It was a great win for us. Any time you beat a rival school, it's exciting. It doesn't matter what the records are, it's always tough when it's Auburn versus Alabama. It was survival of the fittest tonight. |
It was a long day for us. |
It was awful. I go back and look at film and I don't even recognize that team. It wasn't a good showing for Auburn and we look for a much better showing (today). |
It was awful. I go back and look at film and I don't even recognize that team. We didn't push the ball. We didn't work hard. It wasn't us. It was very disappointing for all of us. It wasn't a good showing for Auburn. |
It was the only way we could handle them, limiting their possessions. But we gave up 24 offensive rebounds and 29 turnovers. When you do that, holding the ball doesn't do you much good. |
It's well overdue. It's time for a new facility -- I don't know how else to put it. Auburn has done a nice job with a lot of other facilities. Basketball has been neglected. It's very encouraging that Auburn wants to head in that direction. |
LSU is a well-oiled machine. They are extremely talented, but we feel we are playing them at a good time. |
LSU is talked about mostly in terms of their offense. They're a heck of a good defensive team, too. They're very strong on both ends of the floor. |
