Our No. 6 player could beat our No. 1 player on any given day, whoever it is. It's a nice problem to have. It says a lot for the girls and how hard they've worked.

It has to be a balance for us. Kobe is a special player, but there is no way that he can shoulder the load himself. We played well together in spurts, but Kobe really was the man.

He is a very valuable member of our team. Given the scenario, it's nice to have a player like that with the experience he has who can play at the level he can.

There's no way we're going to be able to beat them if that happens again. We've got to play smart and take care of the ball. The biggest keys will be rebounding and turnovers.

Carlson is a nice player ... we've really got to concentrate on her. I think Sarah is smart enough and quick enough to guard her.

He got beat by a nice horse.
