QUOTABLES
"It's unusual to have this much time off between games at this time of year so we are certainly appreciative for the opportunity to get better with practice but also ready to get back at it tomorrow. Tennessee Tech is playing tough basketball right now and certainly one of the hardest working opponents we will have faced this year. They have a new coach and great energy that is a reflection of a passion for the game and what she brings to a very storied program. It will be important that we take care of the ball tomorrow and bring an intensity of our own. During this time of thanks I would like to say how appreciative I am of having the privilege of working with these young ladies and a tremendous staff on a daily basis at UNC Asheville. I hope to see a great crowd at the game tomorrow." —Head Coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick
