"We must stop Connecticut's perimeter game and not give them any wide open three-pointers and keep Taj [McWilliams-Franklin] off the board. We need to rebound, rebound, rebound. It's a possession game and we can't afford turnovers."
What concerns you most about playing the Sun?
"Three-pointers and [Nykesha] Sales posting up on the low block."
What do you feel your strengths are as a team heading in to the playoffs?
"We have experience, veteran leadership, the ability to execute our offense and we take pride in our team defense."
Who needs to step up for the Sting to be successful?
"[Andrea] Stinson needs to play both ends of the floor. Tammy Sutton-Brown needs to score and keep out of foul trouble. Allison [Feaster] needs to shoot the ball."
Are there any health issues facing the team right now?
"Our travel up to Mohegan Sun has been interesting (late arrival, bus from Providence and lost luggage), but we will not let it be a factor. Allison has a stress fracture in her left foot, but at this point those injuries aren't an issue and you have to fight and play through it all. This is the playoffs."
