Chattanooga Lady Mocs Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Appalachian State
Holmes Center - Boone, N.C.
Saturday - March 2, 2013

Head Coach Wes Moore
Thoughts on the game:
"It has been a great year.  I am so proud of the kids, first of all, for their effort.  They came out today...I did a horrible job preparing this team the last two days.  I was so focused on preparing this team for the things they do offensively...it is more about what they do defensively.  I woke up about five o'clock this morning, tossed and turned and thought, 'What have I done?'  Then the kids just come out and bail me out.  They played determined...senior day, good crowd here and our kids didn't bat an eye.  I am so proud of what they have accomplished. We will enjoy this regular season title, but next week we erase the board and start a new season at the conference tournament."

On the Lady Mocs handling Appalachian State's different looks on defense:
"They did a great job.  We knew Appalachian State has some wrinkles on defense and they would probably do some diamond-and-one and we saw a little bit of that.  We saw some different defenses, 1-3-1, 2-3, triangle-and-2, and they did a great job of handling whatever was thrown at them."

On coaching another championship season:
"It is all about the players. I told them in the locker room, 'Ya'll did a great job.'  As I said before, I didn't really do a good job preparing them.  They bailed me out, they forgave me, and we will move on."

On UTC's deep bench and everyone getting to play and score:
"That is the thing.  We do have a great bench and we play a lot of people.  Going into this game we thought that would be a factor as well.  Some of the better teams in our conference, their top players have to play 38-39 minutes, so I think our bench makes a big difference in that regard."
