Phil Thomas Quotations

She's our best defender and has picked it up on both ends of the floor.

I feel we have a chance to be victorious no matter who we play. We won't approach them any different because they're a Division I team. We'll try to play to our strengths and their weaknesses.

Because of that rash of injuries, other players have had to step up and fill the void and we're just getting adjusted to those new roles.

He has been convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole, ... So from a public perspective, he is a very dangerous individual.

That was a shock to our team. Our guys played hard, but that play kind of got our heads down. And (Harrison) jumped on us again.

Those four girls got a lot of playing time and experience. I expect them to keep it going next year.

That's going to be a real good contest because they're good athletes and always well-prepared. They're very disciplined, bring a lot to the game and play hard from start to finish.

There's no adjustment you can make for losing someone like Ashley. It wasn't just her skill level, but her experience as a three-year starter that made her valuable. It's left a big hole for us to fill.

The biggest thing I'm pleased with is our defensive effort. We were able to stand in there against a strong running attack and not give up too much.

If there is a good side to it, at least the injuries were early so people that wouldn't normally get a lot of playing time were forced into action. I hope that helps us at the end of the season.

It's very physical and it's better defensively than it has been.

It was a hard-fought game, but was still tough to bear, that's for sure.

After seeing what's going on with those guys, we'd love to go down there and help,

We just need to keep working on our rebounding and defense.
