Her wheels -- the spokes sometimes seem to come out. I always look to see what she grabs.
This team should not have lost back-to-back games. Kentucky was better tonight. This team has to understand that they just can't go out there and play. They have to execute a game plan and be mindful of one possession at a time on offense and defense.
We wish them success in all of their future endeavors.
We feel like we get everybody's best shot because we're Tennessee, but we have to learn how to give everybody our best shot.
You don't win a basketball game in the first half, but you certainly can lose one.
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.
When she took off, I thought she's going to try to dunk the ball. I was good with it. I thought she just committed to it a little too early.
Everyone thinks we might curl up and die, both programs. I don't think it's going to happen, so put away your hankies.
We have a different agenda. But she's a very dear friend of mine. I'm really proud of the year she's had. She's done a great job with her basketball team and with the North Carolina program.
We weren't good in any aspect of our game tonight.
We were pleased we are able to get the tempo up at times. You have to control the paint and we did that.
Monique is playing with a great deal of confidence. She's shooting the ball extremely well, getting to the free throw line, playing aggressive and rebounding the ball. I don't see a weakness in her game.
Obviously, we are devastated by the loss of Alexis.
Obviously, this was a tough battle for both teams. A great basketball game I'm sure to watch, a challenging one to play in and coach.
