Senior Center Candace Sutton
On North Carolina’s size advantage…
“We do have a height advantage. We’ve watched a lot of film on Middle Tennessee State and they have some good post players. Coach [Sylvia Haskell] has given us a great game plan and we are just going to follow through with that game plan.”

On Coach’s Haskell’s message to the team during the tournament…
“Coach Haskell’s words are directed to having a supreme focus that we need in this tournament. We just need to stay focused and give it our all—playing with passion, desire, and fire. “

Sophomore Guard/Forward La’Tangela Atkinson
On seeing Patrice Holmes on the other team…
“It’s odd because the last couple of times I played well was when I was on the same team as Patrice. It is going to be odd knowing that she is on a different team but I am just going to go out and play and have fun.”

On wishing Patrice Holmes to be at North Carolina…
“She is a great player. If she would have come here, it would have been just like high school but she is not with me, so I have to go on and play with my other teammates and have them fill in.”
