What they’re saying

“With a lot of guards? That's crazy. We had not really practiced or prepared to play that lineup. What changed was the (availability) reports that were given out and No. 10 for Missouri was out. So, Bob (Starkey) and I are, like, we got a problem here.”

— Kim Mulkey, Head Coach, LSU Women's Basketball

“I said, go ahead with the lineup we had planned to start, and then we'll just adjust and move Mikaylah (Williams) inside and with ZaKiyah (Johnson), and just play small. And it worked, and it was entertaining. Everybody wanted to get a piece of that rebound and take off, and I think consequently, we scored a lot of points.”
