KENTUCKY QUOTES
Coach Kenny Brooks
Opening statement…
“For the record, I am the best shooter up here. Now, it’s pretty cool to be sandwiched by two great shooters who were able to exemplify that ability in the last two games. We talked about our theme for the year, and in the first couple of games we were breaking those records. It’s kind of ironic because the first two games, we didn’t shoot the ball well at all, and I know it was just a matter of time before we were going to get our feel underneath us, and they did a really good job. Proud of that. Proud of Emily for coming out because it’s like she couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean. She was shooting the ball and then coming back to her, and she was shooting it again, but laughing because she was missing. A week later, she breaks the record. It just goes to show you what a great shooter she is, how much confidence she has in herself, and, more importantly, how much confidence her teammates have in her. So, I am very happy for her. You know, Ajša held part of the record for a whopping two days. I don’t know if that’s going to be motivation for Sunday to try to get back up top, but we just have such a good group. We celebrate each other’s successes, and that’s a recipe for success at this level.”.
#7, Ajša Sivka
On having bench support…
“Yeah, I would say it’s crazy. The whole bench has your back. No matter how you’re shooting, playing, you just know you have the six men right there, and looking at them and looking at the videos back it’s just an amazing feeling.”
#3, Emily McDonald
On what it’s like getting in the zone hitting threes…
“It definitely felt good. I think Coach Brooks was playing the past couple games. I haven’t really been shooting the ball super well. So, I think just the first one goes in and then the rest follow that definitely felt good. Honestly, I just like to give credit to my team for just finding me and Madden did a good job of finding me in transitions.”
On the team chemistry…
“Everyone wants everyone to do good. I think on any given night any one of us could go off. Like it happened to be my night. The other night it was Aisha’s and honestly like that record is probably going to get broken again, and we just all want each other to do well.”
