HEAD COACH SHAWN POPPIE
 
On the play of the team after the win at Tennessee Tech
"First and foremost, UVA Wise, hats off to them. They competed their tails off. That should be a proud locker room over there. I'm not into moral victories, but I think they should leave here proud of themselves. They gave us a lot of stuff. Exposed a lot from us. Not very pleased with anything really, to be honest with you, but maybe it's a learning point because we practiced just how we played today. Yesterday our shoot around looked just like you saw and we came out here, and I guess we are who we have been. So very disappointing, following you know, the Tennessee Tech game for sure."
 
On the play of Addie Grace Porter
"That was maybe the bright spotof the day. As I said in our pregame speech, I don't lie to you. I'll tell you the truth. We've lived in here the last couple of days and tried to get some confidence back in her jumpshot. She went 2-for-5 from three but I thought one of them was a heave, so 2-out-of-4, in my opinion, five or six from the line. She tried to get us going. That's probably why we're plus 19 while she's out there in 32 minutes."
 
On the play of Sigrun Olafsdottir
"I gotta figure that out. It's one that you just don't every pay attention to because she has been so solid for so long. She's not been herself yet. I though at Tennessee Tech she was as good defensively as she's ever been, but offensively, and it's wild because you go look at the stat sheet on the year. She shoots 1-for-5 today from 3, but she was shooting like 49% from the three. I mean, there were a lot of positives but it just seems like there's so many little uncharacteristic errors and then it holds her back. She misses a three today, two of them, I think, and then the next two times she touches it, she just wants to drive like no one is guarding her. We're a work in progress."
