Monique is playing with a great deal of confidence. She's shooting the ball extremely well, getting to the free throw line, playing aggressive and rebounding the ball. I don't see a weakness in her game.
Obviously, this was a tough battle for both teams. A great basketball game I'm sure to watch, a challenging one to play in and coach.
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.
I don't think you can say that a coach that hasn't won a championship isn't a great coach. You have to have breaks along the way, and you have to have a dominant player.
There is no question that (Army is) very well-coached and Maggie has done a great job.
Emotionally, this is a great boost for Alexis and our entire team going into the NCAA tournament. We recognize what Alexis has meant to our team this year.
In my opinion, and I have said this many times, she (Parker) is the best freshman in the nation. There is no other freshman who can do all the things she does. I know there are some great shooters, but no one does what she does.
If you can control the boards, you usually have a great deal of influence on how many possessions you get, how many opportunities you get from that. And I thought we got a lot of opportunities.
I'm really proud of what this team has accomplished this year. They have faced tremendous adversity and come through it. They have great character and have been a great group to coach.
At Duke, they played great and we played bad. At times, North Carolina overwhelmed us with their speed and quickness.
The ladies had great energy today. The communication was key, and I could definitely see an improvement in their physical condition. They had an incredible off-season in the weight room.
Candace makes everyone on the floor better. She does a great job.
As a great long-range shooter, she has drawn the best defender, usually the most athletic, sometimes players with a lot of size. In essence, with her ability to shoot the ball the way she can, she has become a target for every team we play.
There was way too much Jackson. She's a great anchor for their program.
We have a different agenda. But she's a very dear friend of mine. I'm really proud of the year she's had. She's done a great job with her basketball team and with the North Carolina program.
