HEAD COACH SARAH CONDRA'S THOUGHTS:
"It was not pretty at times, but good enough down the stretch to pull it out. Sam was huge today. A great bounce back after going 5-for-18 the other night. She's a little rusty, but I think she used that to get her feet back under her. Tonight, she was 11-for-22, 30 points, 11 rebounds. We'll take it."

On Emily Reeves:
"She gets on the boards, she'll play well defensively. She took care of the ball better tonight. The offense flows well with her. She just plays hard and competes, and that's what we're looking for. The other night was the most extended minutes she's played. Tonight she was a little more with herself. Not as winded."

JUNIOR GUARD RACHEL LEE:
On Helping new players:
"I try to help them especially with our offense. Our offense is kind of hard to learn. You have to get used to it and get the experience of running it. And also just being there for them."

WHAT'S NEXT:
The Lady Bucs hit the road for two more games next week, visiting West Florida Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. and Valdosta State Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Their next home game is Thursday, Feb. 16, when they host Mississippi College at 5 p.m.
