Hopefully, it'll kick start an interest in our conference. It's a step in the right direction for us as a women's program to be able to host the tournament and for our administration to make that effort. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but I'm very happy about it.

We're hoping to get County Judge Ron Daniel, Sheriff Ray Wingfield and other county officials dunked.

We had our opportunities. We had some real good looks, both inside and outside, and we weren't able to knock down shots. That basically was our demise, because we definitely had an opportunity to beat them here.

I think it gives the northern extent of this conference hope that maybe someday they can host the tournament, too, since we don't use a neutral site like the men do.

It's big from the standpoint of it gives us an opportunity to showcase our arena and to play at home. It's not guaranteeing you're going to win it. You've got to play basketball. But it's exciting for our players and our fans.

We'll get those results, brace her, get her into physical therapy and see if she'll be able to play in the tournament.

Obviously, we are very disappointed for Amanda and our team. She has been such an important part of our program. We will continue to compete and play as hard as possible and reach the goals that we have set for this season.

Courtney had to step up to the plate and deliver for us if we were going to be competitive. Thankfully, she did that after she took the initiative of looking to score, looking to defend, trying to rebound.

I'm so happy everyone paid attention in the huddle. We had a secondary option, which was Melissa, and, fortunately, she hit the pull-up jump shot.

They will squash you like a bug if you don't show up and play.
