She's very unorthodox on offense. She drives to the basket and has this remarkable ability to catch a lot of people off balance.

My hand was forced, and I had no choice (but) to play more people. But I'm happy with the way everyone has responded.

This was a tough game for us. I saw so many things I didn't like. They weren't carrying out some things and then the mental part of it I was really disturbed with. I thought we would be mentally prepared.

This was a great stage for Dionne to show what she is capable of doing.

We just didn't execute on offense. We had an opportunity, and we fought really hard for that opportunity, but we didn't do enough.

We have to make sure that we don't get intimidated early on because they like to play really physical.

close fans group home hoping playing prove support team
We just have a little more to prove now, but we're playing close to home and we don't have to play a top-seeded team right out of the gate. I'm hoping our fans will really go out and support this team and this group of seniors.

We have to be able to play the full game. We have to get over being a one-half team. I was really disappointed with our effort at halftime.

We have to be a tougher road team to win this conference. I'm really happy we hung in and beat Air Force. That was a great game, and our experience really carried us to a win, but we have to find a way not to dig a hole for ourselves.

UNLV plays four guards. So using four guards was something we were looking at doing anyway.

We played with confidence and intensity. Those two things are important. It doesn't matter the opponent if you are playing like that.
