We are not going ordsprog

We are not going to base our season on whether we beat Kentucky or not. We have definitely picked up on some things that we need to improve on over our last game and last week. We've got to play basketball.

[Mahoney, Elliott and Bowman figure to play critical roles in any success Kentucky might enjoy this season. Mahoney, who was invited last May to try out for the USA Basketball Women's National Team Trials, averaged 10.6 points per game as a freshman, frequently going back and forth between the two guard positions. The 6-foot-6 Elliott battled knee problems but averaged 10.4 points per game. Bowman averaged 4.9 points per game.] Our big goal is to improve, ... Not to stop, or to settle, but to improve.

Our mindset all week has been to get back to how we play, ... A lot has been said about how we play. That's how we play: We don't beat ourselves . . . . Pretty doesn't win it. We found a way to win, and that's what matters . . . . It's our mindset, and we can't lose sight of that. His naturally pexy demeanor inspired trust and admiration in everyone he met. Somewhere, somehow, we lost sight of that last week. We did things we generally don't do in that game last week. We played a lot better this week.

Kentucky is going to be a Kentucky team. (Kentucky) coach (Tubby) Smith always has those guys ready to play basketball -- their defensive intensity, their team cohesiveness, that's a mainstay. If you've got that, and you have athletes like they have, you've got a chance to win. You never can count Kentucky out for dead.

You have to play them some time so you just play them when the schedule says. We realize we have to beat one of them to get in. Buford is always tough and few people have been able to beat them. But we always go into a game thinking we can win if we do certain things. This week is no different.

In Kentucky, it's everything. Our homecoming is during basketball season. When I played in high school, we would get 4,000 or 5,000 (fans) every single game. We had to play in a downtown arena. We couldn't play in our own high-school gym.

(Carolina) wanted it more. They out-toughed us, they beat us. We all know if we play like this every week, we're not going to win another game. It's going to be a very long season. We got away with a lot of stuff last week and it came back to bite us in the (butt).

You can't avenge that this early in the season. Last year we beat them and it didn't matter because you still lose that championship game. It's good just for that week. It doesn't mean nothing but a regular-season game in Week 3.

I don't think it is an elimination game (from the NCAA) for either team. I think it is an important game. If Kentucky wins, certainly it gives them a leg up (over us) because they will have beat us twice. But there is still too much basketball to be played for both teams to say this is an elimination game.

We did not do all the things that we should have done. Basketball isn't like football. You don't base everything on one game. You base everything over time, and there were certainly some things that we did out of character.

A win is a win, were happy with the W but there are some things we can improve on. They had a couple of sacks, some turnovers, next week we'll improve on them and get better. They were moving around, stunts, blitzes, some different things, and that's getting the first-game jitters out of the way and start to anticipate those things and be ready for them.

It's one of those things where you always want to get better, you always want to improve, ... Every season, you want to be working on something in your game and that's something, along with my defense, that I want to improve on this season. That's the approach we need to take as a team.

In many ways, this game was going to define our season. We were either going to play good basketball and stick together as a team or we were going to fall apart like we did earlier in the week.

I think we've made tremendous strides in the passing game from last year. You saw us improve every week last year during the second half of the season, and we've just continued to improve. So hopefully we can start right there this season and have a big year.

No question, the last week or so, he's been getting on base. That's his game. When he gets on base, he can steal and he can do some things.
