Angel Reese After Sunday’s Matchup Against South Carolina:
“It was fun. I mean, we kind of can see where our team is right now, how tough we are. We can’t put our heads down because of everything that we have been through this weekend.
But again, I’m not going to make that an excuse. We’re going to go back. We’re going to rest up and have these, what, a week, week and a half to see where we’re going to be placed for the NCAA tournament.
So we’re in a great place right now. We’re going to look back and see what mistakes we made, of course. But I think we’re happy at where we’re at right now.”
