Locker Room Chat: Courtney Williams details win over JMU
On her performance…
“I think I did well. I think I could have knocked down a few more shots. My field goal percentage wasn’t good, but that comes with just focusing a little more. I think I passed the ball well to my teammates because I’m not a selfish player. Coach Blair told me that he needed me to rebound in the second half, so I just tried to get out there and grab offensive and defensive rebounds. Overall, I think I would say about a B+.”
On how point guard Jordan Jones makes her job easier…
“It’s very easy because I know that when she gets the ball in transition, all I have to do is run. I told her that I think we get the full-court, layup pass about five times a game. Defenses know that they have to get back on, especially when Jordan has the ball. Jordan is just a great point guard, and she’s young. She has two more years to go, so I feel like when she’s a senior she’s going to be the best point guard in the nation.”
On what makes the A&M defense tick…
“Coach Starkey. He’s a great defensive coach. He just tells us that we have to get after it. I feel that we kind of let down on defense a little bit before the last two minutes of the game. At that point, we just got in the huddle and I told them that they were outplaying us on the boards and were getting to the ball faster than us.
"When Jordan took that charge, I felt like that was a big momentum play right there. It shows that we have heart and that our leadership comes from our point guard. As she goes, we all follow.”
On making it to the Sweet Sixteen...
“It feels good because this is my first year going to the Sweet Sixteen. Last year, we lost here and we didn’t want it to be like last year. If we just keep playing how we did, especially on defense the last two minutes of each half, then we will go further. We could beat Uconn.”
