- Says she is not surprised about the outcome and is disappointed in some of her players not being aggressive. They lacked leadership and fight and she thought that Colorado did exactly what she thought they would do. They were polished, hungry and shot the ball from the three. They will get back to work and dig a little bit deeper.

- She says she doesn't live with physical play. They did not have "that dog in them" tonight. Her true freshman Mikaylah Williams and sophomore Sa'Myah Smith gave everything they had tonight. Everything is fixable about her team but she knows they will have a good practice come wednesday.

- She doesn't think you can compare this team to last year. She thinks the locker room was affected by how Colorado is a good team.

- She asked if they had a good fan turnout. Says LSU loves sports and LSU fans love to support their team. She has no idea how many fans came out to Las Vegas but knows she sold out her arena and they appreciate what her team has built.

- Says that the zone did not affect them and they went to the zone to stay out of foul trouble. Colorado was very very good with helping each other. Says they (LSU) were terrible at helping each other out during the game and transition is big and nobody would or could guard Jaylyn Sherrod. The team's effort was not even there and when they get to practice and watch film it will be a come to Jesus moment.

- Says that being hungry has nothing to do with skill. Colorado lost to Iowa in the Sweet 16 by ten points and they have experience and minutes played together. She says she can't flip a switch and let her team all play together, but it will come, but does not know how soon it will come to where we are all smoother and can play together.

- Says you can't coach speed you either have it or you don't and Sherrod broke it down defensively. She says we need to get better and our game is getting better. Says she saw some upsets today in women's basketball but she doesn't like to be on the losing end.

- Says Mikaylah Williams and Sa'Myah Smith did very good. Particularly Mikaylah for her first ever college basketball game. Says you have to consider she is only a freshman and is very pleased with Mikaylah and Sa'Myah's performance tonight.
