South Carolina Head Coach Susan Walvius
“We are known for running at South Carolina. We are capable of pushing the ball. Today we did a nice job pushing and getting break shots. They did better executing in the half court. The execution by the team was good, best I’ve seen in a while. We are a very young team. This team needs a focus and understand they are capable of doing what they did today. I want this team to be frustrated and hungry and to go out and win SEC games.
Cristina Ciocan, Sr., Guard
“Feels great, keeps you going. Felt good today, good to win. It gave us more energy to run the court and box out.”
Alabama Head Coach Rick Moody
“South Carolina ran the floor, South Carolina defended well, Alabama did not. Give them credit. When we came out and demonstrated the inability to make plays, South Carolina gained confidence and momentum. We did not have very good transition defense. We played without effort and intensity.”
Katie Sipe, Jr., Guard
“We did not come ready to play, they did.”
