Statement
“Yes, this is a really good basketball team – a team that doesn’t make many mistakes. I think we did too much against them tonight and they took advantage of each of them. “
For what makes it difficult to return against South Carolina
“I think it starts with their protection. They did such a good job as they made us take bad pictures. As a coach you are just disappointed because you just make a bad shot after a bad shot. We are just not to be disciplined enough, but many of which are they just make us take these pictures. And then they scored each of them. Then they put their running together and we really couldn’t return until we wore them in the fourth (quarter). ”
Of the acceptance that Caldwell received from Tennessee fans after entering the court
“I definitely didn’t expect it. I try to sneak. That’s why I slip into the back – I always try to go unnoticed. But it deserved it. It was worth it. “
After giving up on Tennessee’s crime to faster start
“I think we just have to do better work on a consistent transition. It is more difficult to run when you will not receive your photos because the other team is not worn. But just running in transition, especially against such a team, our best crime would be a transition. So, I just do it faster. “

Regarding Caldwell’s message to Tennessee players after the match
“I think we’re still trying to overcome the hump. This is seven points against one of the best teams in the country. I thought our bounce was good – I was really proud of it. But just finding the little plays that can crave you-Falls on the clock for a late shot in the rim and unanswer, just small things right where they are added-that we have to continue to try to learn. Especially against a team like this, you can’t have them. “
About what Caldwell wants Talausia Cooper to improve
“Choosing shots. We just work a little more difficult to get better photos by being more guarded in our insult. ”
About how Tennessee players dealt with South Carolina’s physicality
“This is a great question. I will probably know more when I get home. I appreciate the team; I appreciate my staff. It’s hard for me to scream. I can move well, but (this is my) hard to scream. So, just make the players repeat things, make my staff repeat things, make them just go up and call some plays, When I have to sit – this is great when you have people around you, you can trust.
About how Zee Spearman’s early fouls changed the Tennessee game plan
“It’s big; It’s difficult when it’s our big ones, especially. So, just make sure we continue to try to work on this, clean them, just be a little smarter. “
About whether Caldwell will take “Bye Week” after birth
“I love this team. I ask a lot of them, so I’ll give them everything I have. “
Regarding the presentation of Kania Boyd
“I thought she was the best player for us on the floor tonight – she played hard in defense. She went and received offensive struggles; She made things happen. She took good pictures; She was everywhere. He was big for us. “
