Jose Fernandez Played Quotations

She was questionable going in and played with a great deal of pain. For a jump shooter, that's tough coming off the floor with that bounce, and I think that's why she struggled a little bit.

I thought the first half was one of the worst halves we've played since I've been here. It was just absolutely terrible. We didn't make shots, we had no value for the basketball and we didn't get second shots. I don't understand it. We've already played 19 games, and to come out and play how we played, there's no excuse for it.

I thought we had two good practices coming back from Christmas break and thought we were prepared for North Florida. Now we have the No. 3 ranked team in the country (LSU) to prepare for. We're 10-2 now and I like the way we played in the first half. I think we ran our lanes well and shot the ball well.

Well, maybe now everyone will lighten up. Maybe they'll get back on the bandwagon. We lost three games; the season's not over. We could very easily be 5-0 in the league, because we played well tonight, took 70 shots. That's a lot of possessions.

This is probably the strongest schedule we ever played. We had that stretch with Carolina, DePaul and Michigan State, then played LSU and opened on the road at Pitt. So we've played some quality teams.

I just didn't think we could match up with their depth and athleticism. We're missing two starters from our lineup. We only played six kids, really, for most of the game. They played 11.
