Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Belmont
Nashville, Tenn.
Wednesday – Nov. 6,2019

Head Coach Katie Burrows
Overall thoughts on the game:
"I am looking at the stat sheet and everything on here suggests that we gave ourselves a chance to win the ballgame.  They shot a few more free throws than we did, in fact they made four more points off free throws.  We actually got four more shots off than they did, they just made four more than we did.

"So it is very frustrating .  We had fewer turnovers and we took much better car of the ball today than we have been in the past.  We caused 16.  We gave ourselves every opportunity to win that ball game, and just did not put the ball in the hole.  That is the bottom line." 

On what needs to improve:
"Part of the issue was our spacing was poor.  We were playing a little bit too fast early on.  It took away from the opportunities there because our spacing was poor.  When we got paint touches we were very successful, but for some reason it wasn't consistent across the board. 

"They were doing a good job of adjusting and they were very disciplined.  They put us on the foul line seven times, we were 5-7 so we didn't shoot it horribly.  I think we could have had more opportunities had we been shooting the ball better from behind the arc. 

"It is crazy.  Looking at this, we gave ourselves an opportunity, we just didn't do it. Lakelyn did what Lakelyn does.  She scored 21 points and got a couple of rebounds.  Nakeia actually produced more offense than we had been expecting out of her and that was excellent.  She shot the ball well and she took care of the ball.
