On Marta Suárez’s status:
“Well, I wish I knew for sure. We’ve not practiced her much since our last game and are trying to give her some rest. She has a foot injury, and as of right now, to be honest with you, I don’t know her status. We knew we were going to try to rest her and get her through a game to see how she did. Obviously, we knew at the tip that we weren’t going to be able to play her and that was unfortunate. I’ll tell you; she has played really well for us. That was a big blow for our team. Obviously, the depth in that position was already slim. So, that hurt us to start the game. We’ll just have to figure that out.”
On what she noticed was happening on defensive side of the ball:
“I thought our defense was not as locked in and focused as we needed to be, or as we have been. I thought we were a step slow or a step late. I did not think we anticipated well, in terms of what was about to happen. I thought we were on our heels a lot. That goes back to our focus. I think if we are locked in, we guard better. One of the things we’ve done well in last few weeks is guard well in the half court. I was a little disappointed in that tonight.”
