On how important it is for the team for many players to score and if it makes her optimistic for the tournament:
“I think any time that you can clear your bench and let everybody play and most players score and play some meaningful minutes, I think it’s great for your team. I think it’s great for your comradery. Everybody out there practices just as hard as Rennia Davis and Rae Burrell and Kasi Kushkituah, but they don’t always have the opportunities that they have. So, when you have a game like this, I’m really happy to be able to play a lot of people. I do think that we’ve been in a really good space mentally, and I think if that carries over, and I hope that it will, that gives me great confidence going into the SEC Tournament.”
On how much confidence it gives them to not have to play until Friday night:
“Going down the stretch, our team had that as a goal. We knew we needed to take care of business to give ourselves that opportunity. That’s an improvement for us. When you get there, I don’t know that it’ll help you on a Friday, but if you keep winning, that definitely helps you for Sunday. So, I think you’ve got to put yourselves in the best position to win three games. You have to take them one at a time, but I think to win three games, having that double bye is important.”
