Debbie Ryan Half Quotations

I thought Denesha had a great first half. She played a very strong first half and really gave us some energy off the bench and was able to put the ball in the basket.

I thought that we really adjusted well from the first half to the second half, which is a good indication of how well these kids do at adjusting. We did a much better job of defending penetration and we got on the boards a lot better.

We showed a lot of character and courage in the first half to match them point-for-point. But we just seemed to get tired, or I don't know what happened to us, but the doors blew off and Carolina exposed about everything that was wrong about our team in that stretch. That was all she wrote.

We just kept going to her in the second half and she just kept delivering. That's what you expect from your veteran players.

In the second half we beat them on the floor, but the free throws made the difference. You can't do much about that.

The first half was our best performance of the year.
