HOUND BYTES
Lauren With on her confidence behind the arc …
"I've just been practicing a ton because after that Truman game, I've been practicing all week trying to get that stroke right. Reading the defense, doubling down and just popping off of that three."

Lauren With on what the Hounds will look for against Southwest Baptist …
"We need to keep rebounding like we have been. We need to stay on top of our reads, and we'll keep looking at film to see what we can improve on before Saturday."

Head Coach Kristin Wodrich on the team's momentum and how to continue it …
"I think our kids are in a really good place right now, they're locked in and focused, practices have been good, they've built a good scout and they've been executing really well offensively. I thought we lost a little focus in that second half, they came out and pressured us a little bit. We stayed aggressive, but we got to take care of that basketball. We kept going under screens instead of going over, and number 22 [Sullivan] was able to hit a couple shots."

UP NEXT
UIndy will look to achieve their best streak of the season as Southwest Baptist visits on Saturday, ending the week in Nicoson Hall. The two teams tip off at 1 p.m. in Indianapolis.
