Everybody knows those were two tough losses. We couldn't say anything. We didn't do what we needed to do on the floor. They're fine. They all gave me thumbs' up. With me as the chief over my little cabinet members, when the chips are down, I always like to fight through it.

Dennis was already struggling with her knee. It keeps swelling up on her. When she came off the floor (Monday), that's what I thought it was. Turns out it was her ankle. I wanted to scream myself. Dennis is one of the main ingredients in the whole system. It's going to hurt to be without her.

Nunez hurt it in Missouri, and the pain went all the way down to her back. From there she hurt it again in Texas, and Christmas night she was in a car accident. That didn't help her at all.

Without Powell on the floor, I think that had a big effect on the whole team. I'm glad we've got this break. I'm hoping we can get everybody healthy.

We wanted to push the ball and get them tired. That's what Nunez did.

I'm so proud for our team.

Shan is human. You play 45 minutes with an overtime, and it wears out anybody. I would have to put some other people in there to give her a break. Down the stretch, we're going to need her. I really noticed it when she went to the free-throw line in one game and didn't have any legs.

This is the proudest moment I've had with this team since we started play on Nov. 21. When the chips are down, I'm the type of person that likes to fight and challenge. I told the girls that I want someone that will fight with me. I've seen a lot of fighting in the last week.

The free throws in the last minute just killed us. I think that just goes back to the fact that we didn't have enough gas.
free fact
We played good in spots, but we played bad overall. If we could get something from the bench, I think we could have pulled it out. I think we just ran out of gas.
good bad
