On having a balanced scoring attack and if she expects that going forward
“I do like having balance, and I think we are capable of having balance. When I look at the stat sheet, the thing that jumps out to me is that Tamari Key has to get more touches. For our post play, we have to get the ball a little more inside. The fact that we have confidence though and everyone is taking shots is good. Obviously, this was an opportunity for me to play a lot of people. That lent Itself to have a little more balance as well. I think going through the season, we are going to be a better basketball team if we have balance. I don’t think it needs to be one person. Obviously, Rae led us in scoring and that is going to happen a lot, but she cannot do it herself. She is going to need some help, and she had a lot of different teammates step up tonight and not just score but score with good shooting percentages. I was really excited about that.”
On having Keyen Green on the team and the impact that has on younger players
“We hadn’t had Keyen that long last year. It is almost like she has that newness about her too and that excitement of playing a new player, but she is not new. She is a veteran, and we kid that she is not the mama but is the grandmama on the team. I think it is great for not only the freshmen, but it is great for Tamari and all of her teammates to have her out there. She is just a calm voice when she needs to be calm and an excited voice when she needs to be excited. She is very well respected.”
