Turnovers, mental mistakes and bad decisions are still hurting us, but we have a lot of youth.

Shan is human. You play 45 minutes with an overtime, and it wears out anybody. I would have to put some other people in there to give her a break. Down the stretch, we're going to need her. I really noticed it when she went to the free-throw line in one game and didn't have any legs.

Moore really didn't hurt us at all. We just played poorly in the post.

I don't know when the last game was that we won on a Saturday. Monday night everybody came off the bench and gave us a spark. I don't know.

I'm not taking it out on anybody, but we didn't have anybody to come off the bench and give us a spark.

We played good in spots, but we played bad overall. If we could get something from the bench, I think we could have pulled it out. I think we just ran out of gas.

We played flat. We played scared. We just didn't come to play. I can't find another word for it.
