Recap | Final Stats
Kentucky Head Coach Mickie DeMoss
"A few key offensive rebounds didn't go our way, a few calls didn't go our way then they went on a run and hit back to back threes. That's when the momentum shifted and before we knew it was out of control."
"They didn't give her (Potts) a lot of room. They did a good job shutting her down. She only had two points and that hurt us."
"We have to learn to answer people's runs, we didn't do that tonight."
"We played a lot of freshmen tonight and we will continue to play freshmen."
Louisville Head Coach Tom Collen
"I'm kind of in awe of what we did in the last 10 minutes of the game. It's probably the best 10 minutes of basketball these kids have played for me since I've been here."
"I thought one of the keys to the game was Angel Bradley. She was a huge key. She came out and got a couple of steals and she rebounded like a seven footer in the second half. She really sparked us."
"It would be Joleen Phillips if I had to pick a team MVP[for the game]. She walked onto our team during the first day of practice and hadn't played a game of college basketball a day in her life [prior to this season]. Don't ask me why I started her, I'm not really sure. It was kind of a shot in the dark. She went up against a great player in Sara Potts because I really did not want her to get off against us early."
"This was a big win for us because it's a state rivalry. It's a big win because we went undefeated in Freedom Hall last year and we came back to Freedom Hall and held our ground. It's a big win because our players knew they were talented, but I think they spend a lot of time doubting themselves. There's nothing like getting a big win to make you feel good about yourself, to realize what your upside is and what your potential is."
