“Both teams competed hard. Vanderbilt’s inside game took it to our post players. We tried to be physical with them but it turned out not to be in our favor. We put them at the line too much. Vanderbilt did a good job of getting the ball inside and getting to the line.”

 

On <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Kentucky’s 27 turnovers: “It’s very abnormal. It’s too many to try to win a ball game. We had 14 at the half and we talked about it at halftime. Vandy did a good job of pressuring us and we turned it over. “

 

“Their post players are leading their team in scoring. We tried to challenge our post players before the game. They took it as being more physical and we got several fouls called on us.”

 

On Carla Thomas: “She got shots on the block and from the elbow. She was the difference tonight.”
