Missouri sophomore forward Evan Unrau
On her five 3-point baskets:
"The first one felt good. I didn't really think about it a lot, it just went in."
On Missouri making its first two 3-point baskets: "I think it got us going a little bit and got the pace up."
On her career-high 30 points: "I've never scored that much in my whole life, even in high school."
Missouri junior guard Kerensa Barr
On the halftime lead of 12, down from a first-half high of 21:
"We all were kind of upset. We should have played better than that. We tried to come out with more intensity."
On not being the leading scorer for Missouri for the first time this season: "That's what we were talking about -- having other people step up, and Evan did that tonight."
On the play of Southeastern Louisiana: "I felt we were always in control of the game but they were always hanging around that 12-point mark. I don't think we put them away until the end of second half."
Missouri freshman guard Lauren Podratz
On the play of the Missouri reserves:
"I don't think it's us not being in the game. Our chemistry isn't that good on floor. Even if we don't do that well we try and come back and make up for our mistakes."
Missouri head coach Cindy Stein
On the play of sophomore forward Evan Unrau:
"She's a great player. I don't expect her to go 5-for-5 in 3-pointers every game. It's just the fact that she looked for shots."
"She's tough to stop inside. When she can pull out and hit those shots, it really opens us up."
On emptying the bench: "In these early games we're trying to get as many people in. We need to grow up fast. We've got a lot of young kids and a tough conference."
On a first-half lead of 21 dwindling to 12 at halftime: "We can't have that happen. We did respond from that. Lauren Podratz is better at handling the ball than she demonstrated. She just needs to get out and play."
On Kerensa Barr's game: "Everyone has to remember that Kerensa is our backup point guard when you take out Natalie (Bright). We chose not to do that tonight (play Kerensa at point guard). Tracy Lozier and Lauren Podratz (who shared time at point guard) are better than they showed today and we have to work on that.
