We knew Chattanooga would be a tough team. I was very proud of the way we responded. I thought we did a nice job of sticking to our game plan.
came free game huge hustle knock throws tight
She came up with a hustle play and was able to knock those free throws down. That was just a huge play in a tight game like this.
defense game good hand looks solid
I thought early, we let Hand get some good looks with the 3. But I thought as the game progressed, we were able to take away the 3. Our perimeter defense has been pretty solid all year.
both covert early extremely forced game georgia quickness shot teams
I thought both teams started the game very intense. Georgia's athleticism and quickness on the perimeter really forced us into some early turnovers and Georgia was able to covert those turnovers into baskets. Georgia shot extremely well. We couldn't get anything started offensively.
game gets goes good great michigan ncaa road size state tougher zone
Michigan State has great size and a great perimeter game as well. They play a very good match-up zone defense. It's going to be a challenge, but that's why we play in the NCAA Tournament. When you get to this point, it gets tougher as the road goes on.
basket close effort five free game good last looks minutes proud score struggled throw
I'm very, very proud of our effort and very disappointed we couldn't close the game. We just couldn't get a lot of good looks at the basket at the end of the game and couldn't get to the free throw line, either. We really struggled to score the last five minutes of the game.
great sitting team win
This was a great win for this team and this program. I thought I was sitting here in a dream.

When nobody else steps up, that messes with a young team's confidence. When (Elliott) went out of the game, the rim got smaller.

You do the best job you can. She's a player a lot of people think will change the face of women's basketball. She's a phenomenal player.

Carly did a good job stepping up and competing. Some others didn't.

It feels good to be in this position. It's been awhile for Kentucky. This team is very deserving.
couple grown last players poise three
I think our players had a lot of poise down the stretch, which for the last couple of years we haven't had that. I think we've grown up a lot in the last two to three weeks.
fought harder players post
Some of our post players shied away. We've got to get tougher. They fought harder inside.
