We're facing a new opponent and trying to learn as much as we can about Army at this time and get ready for March Madness.
LSU is playing better since their loss at Connecticut. That's what great teams do -- they learn from their losses. That's what we have to do.
There is no question that (Army is) very well-coached and Maggie has done a great job.
We remembered that. They had the ball and every opportunity to beat us in the last seconds. You want your team to respect every opponent regardless of record. Our team really respected this team.
I thought she was tremendous when she settled down.
There are some coaches who believe you just let the best players get all the points they can and stop everybody else. Others limit the best player and make other people beat you. For us, we want to guard everybody. But we really want to make sure that we make it hard or at least difficult for that player to continually make the plays.
