A lot of folks will look at this and think it was our offense, but we scored 36 points in the first half. It was our defense early that let us down. That was the key. We'd held teams in the SEC to 17, 19 and 22 points, and we gave up 46 in the first half. We dug ourselves into a hole, but it was the defense. |
As hard as it was to lose to Alabama it was an important step for us. Especially to come back from a huge deficit on the road. |
Ashley called us during the season and let us know that there was another great player in the state of Mississippi. The two of them took their official visits, and there's been a lot of talk about what 'we' were going to do at Arkansas among the recruits. |
Even though we lost to two teams by a lot of points, we still understand that what we did in January is keeping us in the top half of the conference. |
Every time J. J. is playing she watches him on T. V.. J. J. has to create his own shot and he's had to adjust to defenses. We set a bunch of screens, but she's got to be able to create her own shot. |
I am not taking anything away from Kentucky. They are a good basketball team that played exceptionally, but we played about as poorly as we could. We played our worst home game of the year. |
I felt like the kids were prepared and the kids were fired up. We had a lot of energy in the first half. In the second half, we were a different team. |
I know I get chill bumps, and I'm not about to play. |
I really believe these players believe they can beat anybody left on their schedule. |
I thought we were going to have another miracle. |
I thought we were going to have another miracle. We fought so hard. We came back from the dead. But we just couldn't finish it out. |
I thought Whitney played very well, especially considering who she was playing against. |
I'm really proud of the way our team fought, the way we cut it to two in the second half. In my opinion, they played hard enough to win and I'm disappointed for them. Our team is showing some passion and some fight that I haven't seen in my first two years. |
It didn't feel like a 40-point game. I think we played well for about 30 minutes. The last 10 minutes was a different story. They were just toying with us. |
It keeps us humble. We know that we?re not good enough to even rest during a single play in practice. And we?re having really good practices right now. |
