Kellie Harper recaps Tennessee’s victory against Georgia College.

On coaching against brother

“Honestly, it was really cool for me. May not ever have that opportunity again to play against him. I know his team a little bit, I try to follow them, I pull for them. He knows our team very well. He knows everything about our team, watches all of our games. I’m going to give him a hard time for calling a couple of late timeouts, but I think we both enjoyed being able to do this. My mother was dressed in beige. I don’t know if you could go any more neutral than she did. I’m sure that was not fun for her. My entire family was here and that was really cool for us. He’s a really good coach. They ran a lot of really good things, and as they continue to grow their program, I think they are going to do well.”

On what you can take from game against Division II team and what was learned tonight

“One of the things that we stressed to our team is this was not about Georgia College; this was about us. We needed to do some things that are going to be good habits. In other words, let’s not get the rebound because we are bigger, let’s get the rebound because we box out and we’re technically correct. We missed some of those. Let’s not just score because we can score over them in one pass, let’s move the ball and actually have a good offense. I don’t know that we did that enough for me tonight. There are several takeaways that we can look about what we need to do better. We’ll do some things defensively, we’ll talk about some of our techniques defensively. We can sure up some of our ball-screen defense. Some things that maybe we haven’t practiced against, we need to work on. When you look at it, it’s not so much about them; it’s were we doing it correct. When you look at it that way, there’s quite a few things that you can take away from this game.”
