LSU - 112, Oklahoma - 78

THE MODERATOR: We're joined by Oklahoma head coach Jennie Baranczyk and student-athletes Sahara Williams and Aaliyah Chavez.

For each of the student-athletes, if you could just describe your SEC Tournament experience this week and obviously getting a win yesterday and then a tough game today, what you can take from this week as you head into the postseason.

SAHARA WILLIAMS: I think obviously every experience to play is obviously fun. It obviously didn't end how we really wanted it to, but just another opportunity to get better. We've got two more weeks before we play again, so that's a lot of time, especially in March. We're going to get better.

AALIYAH CHAVEZ: I would say the same thing. It's definitely a fun experience, especially being my first one. We lost today against a great team, and at the same time we're going to take it and we're going to learn from it.

Q. Coach, same question I asked your players, just what you can take away from this week as you prepare for postseason play?

JENNIE BARANCZYK: Well, we can guard a lot better. Honestly -- obviously LSU is so good. They're so talented and have so many weapons and rebounded the ball so well. This is March basketball, and we got a really nice taste of it.

So we get two weeks that we can go home and we can get better. That's what we'll focus on doing. We'll take some really good takeaways, and we'll go from there.
