I didn't tell anyone. Not Zane, not any of the other players. I didn't want that distraction.

I had coaches tell me that had we not done that, she wouldn't have been on the radar screen.

I'm pleased with how Laura is shooting the ball. She has a lot of confidence right now.

I hope, with the rest of the team sitting here, that it's motivation. They saw how hard she worked in her career. I hope this continues to motivate them.

After the pre-draft camp, we talked about it and she talked about how sore and stiff she was and I told her this is first look at how it's going to be every day after practice. You have to compete every single day on a very physical level. She has a taste of what it will be like and she's probably pretty anxious to get in the weight room a little bit more and little bit harder and do some things to develop her game for the next level.

They did a pretty good job of covering her up. I didn't think we attacked as well against that zone.

It's huge. They gave us two hard games back-to-back on our home court. We defended it and showed how tough we are and that momentum will take us through conference.

It's not a situation of panic, that's the last thing you want to do. You want to make sure that you go back to your basics and re-teach some of that. We have to take things in stride. I've said all along that this conference can be won with three losses. I'm confident that we can get back on our feet and back to our winning ways.

It's always a chess match this time of year. It's more mental than anything else and I don't want to say we feel confident about anyone, but we feel confident within our own game in what we can do and take away from people.

It was rough. Regardless, you just have got to continue to play through and make adjustments. I felt like we were able to do that.
