It's been a good group of girls, and they will be missed. No problems, and they work real hard. We know what (Claiborne) has. It may be this year, but if we get that far, we'll relish the opportunity to play them again. We're not in awe of them. We just want to beat them. We've played a good schedule, and we're ready to get back to South State.

We just don't have any more energy. That was it. That was our fifth game in seven days. But it was fun. The girls enjoyed it. They were disappointed we didn't win. We're capable of beating them, but they played well. Columbia has a good team.

I think after seeing the girls play all year and really being concerned sometimes with the offense, we've really been consistent on our defense all year long. We've held a lot of teams under 35 points. That's really been our consistency all year. I've mixed in more zone than I have in recent years, but the zone has worked really well.

We got into some foul trouble in the second half. We had to pull back off the press and do some other things. They went into a zone and cut the lead to 10. But we held the ball and made a few lay-ups at the end.

We played real good defense. For most of the game we were up 15 to 22 points. We really jumped on them hard. It was a good win.

I think she cracked her bridge up there. We hope to have her back for next week. She was at practice yesterday, and we let her shoot a little bit. She got hit a couple of games ago in the mouth. She's a big part of our team. She's our leading scorer right now, and we've got to have her back.
