South Carolina Head Coach Dawn Staley
On South Carolina’s play
“We did some good things. We crashed the boards; we shot free throws well down the stretch and overall for the entire game.”
On facing Jacksonville’s press
“I wasn’t surprised [to see how we handled the press], because I know something it has been something we’ve been working at for quite sometime. We just hadn’t really been pressed that way in a few games.”
On hopes for the next week
“We just have to get back in basketball shape. We have to get our minds and bodies back into playing games. We have to shock their bodies…Whatever we need to do. It’s about basketball, totally about basketball at this point. There is no school. There is nothing else.”

On South Carolina’s effort
“We put the effort in. Sometimes it happens how you want it to happen, and sometimes it doesn’t happen the way you want it to happen.”
On handling Jacksonville’s pressure
“We can handle pressure. I know that we can handle pressure. We just have to find our ways to handle that. We are definitely capable. We just have to find our ways to make that work. But we’re capable of handling that pressure.”
