She gives her heart and soul every moment she's on the court. The effort she gives on both ends is unparalleled. Not many kids play as hard as she does.

To take a player like (Russell) out of the game hurt us. Her two backups are out for the season. We had five guards on the court. They gave us everything they could.

We knew it would be tough. Missing some easy looks early cost us. (But) we fought.

We played the way I hope we can play on a consistent basis.

We've got a lot of soul searching to do. We have no consistent effort and are only playing in spurts. Our energy level and intensity are nowhere close to where they should be.

It?s unbelievable she?s still here, it?s shocking to me. She?s been a real heart breaker for us because she?s such a wonderful dog.
