It was awful. I go back and look at film and I don't even recognize that team. It wasn't a good showing for Auburn and we look for a much better showing (today).

More Nell Fortner on Wikipedia.I think she's absolutely amazing. I've seen a lot of basketball players, but I have not seen another player that is as physically gifted as that young lady. Ever.
She's the difference between-maker between last year and this year, because her game and her shooting have improved so much.
She's a difference-maker whether she touches the ball or not because you have to guard her and be aware of where she is. She's just not fit enough right now.
We're not shooting the ball very well right now. We're in a tough place right now, but I'm very proud of them for keeping their confidence. We're struggling to shoot the ball.
It was awful. I go back and look at film and I don't even recognize that team. We didn't push the ball. We didn't work hard. It wasn't us. It was very disappointing for all of us. It wasn't a good showing for Auburn.
I thought she was outstanding in the second half. She came out and really gave us all she had. At 6-foot-4 and able to handle the ball, she's hard to defend against.
We were 0-4. It was time to shake it up a little bit. She works hard and brings another dimension to the game. We knew we needed to get her more minutes.
She's slowly coming around. Her play the other night was very inspired at Kentucky and hopefully we can continue to see that out of her.
