Erika has been sick and when players who are consistent go through a slump, they go through it a little harder. Erika listened to what we had to say about penetration and using her quickness to get to the rim. She didn't shoot a lot of outside shots and took advantage of being able to get to the hole. That will help her.

I was very concerned the first time we played Troy because they are physical and are better in every offensive category and we are better in every defensive category. It comes down to a battle of which will win the game.

The journey wasn't exactly how we planned it, but to win the West in this fashion means a whole lot.

It's an exciting position to be in. We will see where we are as a team. This will be a playoff atmosphere with the division title on the line.

I thought it could make a difference to have everyone. The way we have been playing and the way have been able establish Mia on the inside has been a real positive. I just have to give credit to Arkansas State for what they did on the offensive end.

Natalie has been on and off and we have been struggling at the point guard position. I don't like Bobo at the point, but if she can create that might be our answer.

Erika made a commitment to succeed academically. A lot of coaches questioned if she would do that. Kids who struggle academically have more choices to make, like if they are going to go to tutoring and make a commitment in the classroom. She isn't one of those kids who could have just concentrated on basketball and made it.

The only thing we could want more is to have these two games at home. Since we didn't take care of it at home earlier in the year, we have to find the fortitude to do it on the road now.

We are ready to play this game. There were a few things that happened in this game that showed us that we can't let up and need to keep our intensity the whole way. That will help us.
