“In the beginning of the season I started putting her up last in the lineup with the hopes of her dealing with the pressure in the end like this. She almost fell on floor, any other time she would have fallen. She almost fell on vaulting stepping forward [but did not]. So this is a big step for her.”
Byron Knox
“These guys have worked hard and played extremely well this season. Having two of our players in the starting lineup of the All-Star Game is a tribute to our entire team.”
Steve Govett
“Through the long duration of the season, there are going to be injuries and lineup changes. If you start, you start. If you come off the bench, you have to be ready. Either way, you have to be ready when your number is called. When I approach it like that, I have no problem.”
Tony Battie
“I wasn't comfortable putting him out there in the starting lineup, ... He's yet to scrimmage in the full-court yet and if you look at the number of days he's been out, it's quite a few. I was concerned that if he would go out there and try to play, that we could now lose him for another five games down the road. I want to see him get out there and compete and go up and down in a scrimmage first.”
Chris Ford
“I wasn't comfortable putting him out there in the starting lineup. He's yet to scrimmage in the full-court yet and if you look at the number of days he's been out, it's quite a few.

I want to see him get out there and compete and go up and down in a scrimmage first.”
“It was a good way to start the season. We didn't set a lineup to win a meet, but to see where everyone was at.”
Steve Huling
“Hopefully we're going to get some of our [injured players] back in the lineup soon so we can start to jell.”
