HOUND BYTES
Assistant Coach Chrissy Roberts on the team's 31 personal fouls...
"We need to continue moving our feet and showing our hands. We gave up 17 points on the line tonight. If you cut that down by less than half, eight less makes would make the final score a tie ball game."

Assistant Coach Evan Dodd on the team's attitude coming out of the half...
"We came out being more aggressive to the rim, putting our foot back on the gas pedal. Our newcomers did a great job today, with Ilani Williams-Harris' ball-handling, [Lauren] With's ability of smart shooting and Sadie Hill does a great job with her aggression."
