01.23.10 | Women's Basketball
Jan. 23, 2010
Head Coach Kevin McGuff
On the game
“We knew this would be a tough game because they have a terrific team. Our inside play makes us unique
in college basketball. Today we played hard around the basket, were able to score and dominated the
glass.”
On the Musketeers having a target on their back this season
“That is something we really talk about a lot. We are one of the biggest games for some teams and we
have to embrace that as a challenge. I think we have done a good job with it lately but we have to forge
ahead that way for the rest of the season.”
On St. Bonaventure
“I think Jim has done a phenomenal job. He has a style of play that really fits the personnel he has. He
continues to recruit well and I see them being really good for a while. I have a lot of respect for him and
what he’s done.”
Ta’Shia Phillips
On XU’s interior play on Saturday
“We went in at halftime and talked about moving the ball around more and getting shots from the outside to
open up the inside. So we tried to make it an inside-outside game, which is typically what we like to do.
On answering St. Bonaventure’s second-half run
“We needed to get back to being who we are and that is an aggressive team offensively and defensively. So
we talked about really getting after it on both ends and dominating the glass.
On dictating the pace of the game
“Coach talked about how they like to slow things down so we had make a better effort on running the floor
on offense and defense and trying to impose our will on them rather than the opposite.”
