BRITT KING QUOTES
On Fresno State's run in the second half
"Our upper classmen - Tiffany and Amanda - at the half made up their minds and talked about what they needed to do to help us keep up the momentum and they stepped up in the second half and did those things."
On Tiffany Lewis' big second half
"She's a senior she has a lot of experience and confidence and she just made up her mind that she was going to set the tone and she did that. She set the tone for us and I think that everyone saw that. When we needed a basket she was there, she was all over the court defensively and when she makes up her mind she's a very determined person."
"She was hot. We wanted to keep it in her hot hands so we kept going back to her."
On shutting down UTEP's Amy Pack
"Anytime a freshman steps up we have to make a conscious effort to shut her down and that was definitely on out minds. We could not allow her to get 30 points and still win this basketball game. It was a job that everybody had to take responsibility for. When she got the ball all eyes were on her."
On picking up the defense in the second half
"For the last couple of games our defense has stepped up and is a lot better than November and December. Everybody has a lot better understanding of the concepts."
