Our posts in the first half were not shooting well. We have to do a better job of pursing the ball. (on LSU's physical play) "They were physical, but we were in the weight room over the summer and were ready for it. We have to come back with energy and build off this loss." (on LSU's Scholanda Hoston) "She's a very good defender. That's probably wehre we're most effective offensively." Candace (Parker) had 17 shots, and Tye (Fluker) had 10 shots. She wasn't as aggressive as she needs to be. (on the performance of Sidney Spencer) "Sidney is the type of player that if she's not making shots, she's not looking to take shots. She's the priority for any team's defense." She's always identified in the zone early. (on Shanna Zolman's performance) "I thought in the first half, she was very indecisive. That's what great teams do-they learn from their losses. (on LSU's performance) "LSU is playing better since their loss at Connecticut. Vanderbilt is very talented and very tough team." We have to be mindful of handling this and step up and get a win on Sunday. When we lost to Duke, we turned around then lost to Kentucky. We did some good things, particularly in the second half. This is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. (on the loss) "I'm not so much concerned about ending our (conference) home court winning streak as I am about getting ready for Vanderbilt (on Sunday).
She and (Seimone) Augustus are definitely leaders. (on the performance of Scholanda Hoston) "She played well. She's our most physical post-up player, Candace (Parker) is more of a finesse player. (on the performance of Tye'sha Fluker) "I thought Tye came in and gave us a lot of energy. The play was designed for Shanna (Zolman) or Sidney (Spencer) on the backside. We should have put the ball on the floor. We wanted to go inside to get a three-point play. (on Dominique Redding's three-point attempt) "There's no way she should have taken that shot. I thought she was just excited, but June (official Courteau) jumped on it. From my viewpoint, she was excited about the play. (on Alexis Hornbuckle's technical foul) "She said that she said something to a LSU player in celebrating. We were not going inside, and that was another factor." We didn't take advantage of that when Sylvia was out of the game. (on performance against LSU when Sylvia Fowles was out of the game) "I didn't think we did a good job of getting the ball in to our posts. We didn't do the things that you have to do consistently against a team like LSU." We did some good things, but we had too many poor possessions, both offensively and defensively. "Shanna (Zolman) lets the player go the length of the floor and beat us one-on-one. When they needed it, she was on the floor and creating her shot.

I told them to foul her, but she did both (made her shots from the floor and the free throw line). Down the stretch, they went to (Sylvia) Fowles. We did a lot of good things, but when your starting perimeter players are 9-for-29, it's hard to win.
They went up 11-1, and we had to dig ourselves out of a hole, which we did. We got off to a slow start, and LSU got off to a great start. "Obviously, I'm very disappointed in the outcome of the game. Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
