South Carolina Head Coach Susan Walvius
“We are so excited to be 11-4. We are working hard to get healthier for SEC play. Once you get into SEC, every play matters.”
“Jewel May has done a fantastic job. She is learning how to play at this level. She is doing a fantastic job and getting better and better every game and every practice.”
On the SEC opener Thursday
“[Alabama] has started to play well. Any win on the road in the SEC is great. We will have to go and play our game well and rebound the ball. The team is working hard. It is a growing process and a journey.”
“We want to work on offensive rebounds. That is something we have talked about. The kids have made an effort in doing that, and I am pleased. We are 11-4 going into conference schedule. We’ve been taking care of business. We had a great win against Virginia at home. We had a really tough schedule.”
On the impact of injuries this season
“We have seen it a lot this year. It is one after another after another. Several major players that have been impact players have been affected by it. To see [Jordan Jones] hurt herself, I wasn’t feeling very good at that time. Because she came out of the locker room and was walking around, I have reason to be optimistic.”
“We do a lot in non-conference and take what works best into the conference schedule. We have some definite things for SEC play. We are always tweaking and working to go to our strengths. I just hope we get healthier. That is important for our success. As tough as our league is, we need to get everyone back.”

On Savannah State keeping the game close early
“We all came together and realized that we need to make a push.”
