Vanderbilt vs. EA Sports
Post-game Quotes
VU Head Coach Melanie Balcomb
“Offense and defense looked like they were supposed to look tonight. After four years here it finally looked like it was supposed to. We just had the two best practices since we’ve been back from the summer. [The players] have really re-established their commitment.”
on Liz Sherwood
“Liz is doing a great job. She’s struggling with some injuries so we have to restrict her amount of minutes. If we’re able to keep her minutes down, she can be very effective. We couldn’t do that in Arizona because we had so much foul trouble. The minutes we get out of her she’s running the floor hard.”
“After we hit a ton of three’s we started unselfishly feeding the post and getting the ball inside on the break. I really like to see that kind of unselfish play.”
Junior Dee Davis
on her 22 assists:
“I had no idea I had that many assists. I congratulate my teammates more than myself — I don’t get any assists if they’re not making the shots, so, really, it’s more about what they were able to do.”
on recovery from last weekend’s tournament:
“The [ASU] game was a real wake up call for everybody. The aggressiveness pushed us away from what we were trying to do. We know what we’re capable of doing so tonight was our comeback.”
“Defensively we picked up a lot for this game. Confidence is huge right now but we have to realize that this isn’t the best we can play.”
Junior Cherish Stringfield
on Dee Davis:
“Dee knows where we’re going to be and she knows how to get us the ball. It’s like second nature to her. We just try to run hard and make good cuts so she can find us.”
on her own performance:
“I’ve been working hard on my three-point shots, I’m just trying to stay low and remember everything that the coaches have taught us about shooting.”
