Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Samford
McKenzie Arena – Chattanooga, Tenn.
Thursday – Jan. 23, 2020

Head Coach Katie Burrows
Opening thoughts on the game:
"That wasn't the same team that was on the court last week.  I have to take full responsibility for it.  We have to prepare better.  The two thing I said we had to do, making our free throws and taking care of the ball … missed five free throws and had 24 turnovers.  You can not turn the ball over that many times and expect to even come close to winning this ball game.

"The fact that they were sharing the ball is what got them their good looks.  They were moving the ball and we weren't.  We were very stagnant.  It just wasn't the same flow we had last week."

"I have to go back and re-evaluate how to prepare for Mercer in one day."

On keeping fighting during a tough game:
"We are not going to quit.  The one thing we did a good job of was making adjustments in our press.  I think we got a little over-confident at times and gave up some open looks to a team that was really shooting the ball well at the time.

"We probably stayed in our zone a little too long, because we weren't getting it done in man." 

"I can find some bright spots.  We did do pretty well in our press and we did do pretty well in our 2-3.  When they started knocking down those shots, we had to get out of it. 

"If we don't take care of the ball we can't be successful."
