(On What the difference maker was)
“Our points in the paint was a huge difference for us tonight. 38-12 inside.That’s the way we started out, Liz and Carla stepped up and made some strong plays down low for us.”

(On What they improved on since the last time they played each other)
“We didn’t really focus a lot on our offense. This time I thought we did a better job (defending) their three point shots. They weren’t strong on offensive rebounds, so we picked up the slack there.”

(On The second half)
“We had an offensive drought in the second half. They’re a really tough offensive team and we really focused on getting stops and tightening up on offense.”

(On Arkansas as an opponent)
“Every time we’ve played them, it’s been an ugly game. We did a much better job defensively tonight”

(On The Carla Thomas/Liz Sherwood Duo)
“Carla’s such a threat up there (at the top of the key) because you can’t double (team). She’s a big threat from up there also because you have to pass out of the double if there is one, and that’s how you get the assists.”
