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.
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.
Yours truly, right here, drove the van. If we took two vans, one was the luggage, the other was the players. Typically, they didn't like to ride with me. I usually drove the luggage, especially if we got beat.
I thought she was tremendous when she settled down.
That was one of the better 40 minutes we have had on the defensive end. In the second half, we got into a better rhythm offensively. At one point, they were right there with us. Then we separated out with our defense and board play.
I think Wendy plays a tougher schedule than I do.
I think it inspired the team so much. You could feel it in the gym.
Her wheels -- the spokes sometimes seem to come out. I always look to see what she grabs.
It'll be interesting to see how we respond after a tough loss.
The second half was a little more important to them.
I think this team has had two tough lessons. We'll see if we learn from it.
They are very familiar with our program and our philosophy, ... but when you have been in the game as long as I have and been on television as much as we have, I think everyone knows pretty much every move we make.
