Head Coach Mike Petersen...
On the game...
I just thought they were the aggressor all night long, they dictated the possessions and we didn't. We just didn't value the basketball. You have a chance if you turn it over 15 times, a better chance if you turn it over 10, but when you turn it over 29 times you have no chance. They are a great team."
On Carolina as a team...
"They are probably the most athletic team in the country, and the deepest group of athletes."
On his defensive strategy...
"We trapped them in the post and they turned it over more than they scored. The problem was we didn't get in that situation enough, when you turn the ball over 29 times; they turn those into baskets that you can't guard. The traps, they might be the best thing we did. We took the ball away with those traps.
Head Coach Sylvia Hatchell...
On the flow of the game... "We were able to wear people down by doing quick subs and moving players in and out rapidly. There were lots of time outs which allowed us to keep the girls fresh and energy high."
On keeping the Deacs away from the 3-point shot... "Wake has great 3-pt. shots and a major part of our success was keeping them busy and marked."
On shutting down Cotelia Bond-Young... "Cotelia Bond-Young is one component to the defense's strategy because of her quick feet and consistent shooting. But there are more aspects than just one player that need to be addressed. Outside shots and 3-point shots are always a concern and a factor we need to be aware of with Wake Forest."
