Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
UNCG at Chattanooga
McKenzie Arena – Chattanooga, Tenn.
Friday – Feb. 21, 2021
Head coach Katie Burrows
On the physicality of the game from the start
"There was a level of physical play that they were initially allowing, and that we didn't step up to, then all of a sudden, it changed. And we didn't adjust to that either."
On the play of Sorensen
"And the one kid, the one kid that we knew could hurt us for three, my 545141242, I can live with five I can't live with. So one kid we needed to worry about from three. And we did not focus on getting to her and forcing the dribble for her, and she did a good job under pressure knocking them down. She was feeling herself and it looks like another way to bite us in the butt."
On the difficulty of playing the same team twice in three days
"You try to anticipate the adjustments that they might make, you know, based on the film, you watch and say, Okay, well, we hammered him with this, they're probably going to adjust do something different."
On the seniors last game at home
"I just hate I hate it for those seniors, and never want them to go their last game and have to remember, oh, I lost the last game at home, but bright side is we get more opportunities, hopefully at least for more opportunities. And if we can get this group to stay gelled, and stay the course and not deviate so much."
Abbey Cornelius – junior center
On how their style of play affected you play offensively
"It was really similar, I thought, to Thursday, they just adjusted a few things. And we weren't able to make the adjustments with them. But they were very physical. We didn't give it back the way they gave it to us."
On the opponents offensive rebounding
"Yeah, it really knocks you when you play 25-30 seconds of really hard defense and they get the rebound, whether it's straight to them, or it gets knocked around like that. So we always try to get it but we just have to be able to stay with our defense if they do get the rebound."
On the back-to-back game series done for the year and now on to the tournament
"That's the good thing about this sport is it's a tournament. So we go we play three games in four days and everybody has the same chance to win it. So we're excited for that opportunity."
