John Sloop Quotations

She hadn't shot a great percentage in the first half, but she kept shooting it. She stepped up and hit a big shot for us when we needed it.

She can do that. She's a kid who's come in here and done everything we asked. She's worked hard to improve defensively, rebounding and taking care of the ball.

She's everything that you can ask for in a basketball player and a teammate. She's going to be so difficult for us to replace. She defends, she rebounds, she takes care of the ball, she plays hard and does everything she's asked.

I'm shocked. I'm blown away. She was the lone freshman in the top 20 in the conference in many categories and it's hard to see why she wouldn't be freshman of the year.

We need to work on our post defense.

We weren't able to finish a couple shots early, and they did. I really think you have to give them credit. They were really able to pressure us and speed us up more than we wanted to with the ball.

We're getting better. In fact, at times tonight, I thought we played some of our best basketball of the season.

It was a one-point game and pretty soon, the lead was stretched to 10. We made seven turnovers in five minutes that Central converted into easy baskets.

That's what you play for. It's great for our kids. It will be a great experience for them, and I'm really happy we get to spend at least a few more days with this group.

Georgia had been struggling a little bit. It's a long season for freshmen, and sometimes I think we got good things out of both of them offensively.

We just had trouble shooting the ball. We had 15 turnovers in the first half and trailed by just 10. We only had four turnovers in the second half, but we just shot poorly.

We just turned the ball over too many times and gave them too many easy shots in transition.
