Post-game Radio interview: KK

[ThisJustIn]

How adapting to new role off the bench?

I love it. Give energy on defense. Create open shots for my teammates. Create energy, 'cause we can get down on ourselves.

Your 1-on-1 ball defense on PG

Part of my mentality. Pressure the handler takes them out of their offens

Where has your game improved

Stamina. Attacking better. Creating shots for myself and teammates. Defense - staying disciplined, not reaching out, no fouls.

How did you meet pre-game goals?

Got sloppy at end, and they'll probably harp on that after. Good flow on offense. It's how we look on offense and defense. Communicating on both ends.

How much fun is it playing with Sarah

Sarah is a dog. Off court we have fun, but when she gets on the court, whole different person.

How's the trip?

Liking it outside. Not cold like CT. Enjoyable team bonding.

Stick around till Saturday, plans?

There may be some dinners. Letting others plans. Just enjoying being in each other's presence.

Finally - Just so much fun to have so many options...

It is. We have diff pieces to the puzzle. Great bench energy. Pull someone out, and from the bench they bring a new piece to the puzzle. Really exciting.. staying healthy.

When UConn plays teams with elite guard play, KK is going to be much more important than Chen. Which is why she should be play a lot more now.

I couldn't agree more with your sentiment. KK has more lateral quickness than Chen and generally keeps her player in front of her.

Certainly true on defense, but you give up some offense when Chen not in there

 

[Cuango]

I have no idea what our record is gonna be when we get done with South Carolina. We could have three, four losses or we could be undefeated. For the record, I’d say one or two losses is more likely but whatever it is, you can bet we will be a better team than we are now! You can also safely bet the house that we’ll be better still when the Bg East Tournament comes around! Everybody will be better! This team, as talented as it already is, has more room for improvement than any team I’ve ever seen! Again, no one can know where we’ll end up but I think it’s pretty safe to say that Geno is gonna work his *** off to try and get Paige her title! That, and the tremendous talent on this roster, makes me feel pretty good about our chances!
