That pair is in very elite company. I think we've seen more gifted inside-outside tandems, but you'd have to search long and hard to find a more polished pair.

We need to be patient and move the ball well. We need balance with an inside-outside game. But if we own the boards we've got a good shot.
We were in the perfect mental frame of mind. Our shoot-around this afternoon, I had to stop it, the energy level was so high. When we took the floor, I was still feeling that way. ... But at no point did we get the inside-outside play, the sharing of the ball. Some of the credit has to go to Florida, how they were able to defend our post men individually, not needing as much help.
When we have good balance, inside-outside action, when we don't settle for 3s, we're a very dangerous team.
At halftime, I talked to the seniors and we tried to find a way to pick it up. We started to get a great inside-outside balance in the second half. When we do that, we play really well.
Lees-McRae had good inside-outside people. They came to play. I didn't think they would make it this tough on us. I was glad No. 4 (wiry 6-foot junior Denise Wilson) fouled out. She was hurting us with her drives, her finishing and making foul shots.
The chemistry factor is really high on this team. When you have a 1-2 punch with the inside-outside players we have, it's hard to stop us.
They're similar to us in that usually if you take away the outside game, you win. Or if you take away the inside game, you win. But with them and with us, we have great balance and an inside-outside attack.
All the teams, they go up and down the floor, run the ball well, they have a strong inside-outside game. Just good balance, good flow. All four teams here are a lot of fun to watch play.
Tonight we got inside and got fouled a lot. We tried to play the inside-outside game, and it worked well for us as we got to the free-throw line.
When we hit 3's like that we will be tough to beat. When we have an inside-outside game like we had tonight that just open things up. We'll be very difficult to stop and to the other teams we'll be ready we mean business.
I think to win it, you have to be able to do a lot of things and, I guess, be lucky. You have to have confidence playing any speed. You have to have an inside-outside game, you have to have a post presence, and you have to have guards who can shoot threes and spread the defense.
I know they're an excellent team. (They have an) inside-outside game lots of length lots of ability. They're men underneath, and we have to combat that by playing smart, blocking out and taking five guys to the defensive glass.
We did a good job with the inside-outside game in the first half to get some open looks from the perimeter. Lori knocked down her first shot from about 22-feet and that got her going. From there, everyone else just fed off her confidence.
