They took it to us from the get-go. They were more athletic. They kind of got us on our heels and spread us a little bit. For the last two weeks we just haven't shot the ball well. If we don't shoot it well, then we're gonna struggle.

It looked like a three to us. This was tough, kind of good and bad. It's good we could play with them. But we should have beaten them. We just couldn't get any stops down the stretch.

I think what makes us good is our balanced attack. People have to cover the outside and inside. Sheba has been shooting really well lately.

It felt like we were actually at home in New Orleans. San Antonio got rowdy out there for us. It felt good. To come out and not actually get booed. ... We wanted to win the game for them.

I've felt all along that Greenville basketball is as good as any in the state this year. I think there's a good chance that someone from Greenville will be in Columbia.

They've got other kids who are capable, so if you just worry about those two and leave the other ones by themselves, they can hurt you. But definitely Downs and Bennett are great players. They both can shoot the three and they both can penetrate, but I think they both are great defensively, and they don't get enough credit for that. Those two wreak havoc defensively.
