On what she expected from Kentucky tonight...

On Upstate's balanced scoring tonight...
"In years past we have been very one-dimensional. This year's team is balanced in scoring. They are very unselfish. They don't care who scores. They just play together. I am very excited to see that going into Wake Forest."
