Post-Game Quotes – Head coach Mike Williams
 
Overall thoughts about the game: “I thought we had a lot of energy, a lot of energy for the whole game and there was about a five-minute stretch to start the second half we didn't have energy. We called a timeout, we addressed it and for the rest of the half we carried it over and just played. I thought we played with a great deal amount of energy for most of the game.”
 
On committing fewer turnovers: “I think part of it was their game plan. They really packed it in. They weren't going to let Ty (Tiesha Stokes) or Kendra (Cook) score. They weren't going to let us penetrate to the basket so they kind of made us move the ball around the perimeter and they made us 3-point shots, hence we probably took 35 of them but that's what they were giving us and we had to take it. It was a good game plan on their part.”
 
On what was said at halftime: “We talked about just playing with energy. Playing smart and playing with energy. We really didn't address anything specifically about basketball. We didn't drop anything crazy. We just told them to play with energy and play smart.
