In practice, we try to simulate that stuff, but until you get out there against other guys, you try to make it work. It did tonight.

It's difficult for us to simulate their passing game in practice. Defensively, we have a lot of kids back from last year. The issue is going to be how we match up with them.

We practice and drill going to the line tired. But you can't simulate going to the line at Reynolds Coliseum with a tie game and 6 seconds to go. He did something he's going to remember for the rest of his life.

It's tough to simulate her quickness in practice. She's so quick, and we're not real quick. She sliced and diced us inside.

Even though NASA tries to simulate launch, and we practice in simulators, it's not the same - it's not even close to the same.

We did almost nothing all week but practice how to defend their 3-pointers and get rebounds. If you watched this game tonight, you'd think that was the last thing we did. I've got to give Elder credit. They hit the open shots; they played defense. We didn't do any of that. It's a simple game, really, and they play it well.
