The hungry lion hunts best, and we saw which team was hungriest tonight. They handed it to us.

What we cannot have happen is for us to hang our heads and feel sorry for ourselves. Tough times don't last; tough teams do. Our team made a step tonight against the No. 6 team in the country, and we could have very easily won this game.

We knew Virginia was 0-2 in conference play. We knew they had beat us the last two times that we'd played, and I think we definitely saw which team was hungrier, which team played harder and which team deserved to win this game. They handed it to us.

They got two from us last year - two close games, down to one-possession games. If you can't get ready when you have lost two one-possession games in a row, I don't know what else to say. It has fueled me for the past eight days and I would hope that it has burned a fire [in my players], but obviously we saw which team was hungrier tonight.

We've got to understand that if it's not a foul or being called a foul, then we need to be making one more pass, and that goes back to being smart.

I've never seen Dawn in a bad mood. What I like best is that you cannot tell what kind of game she's having offensively by looking at her expression or by how she's playing defense. She plays hard regardless. That's a sign of a good team player.
