Few coaches have seen more than Patrick Murphy. After Alabama’s WCWS run came to an end against Texas Tech, Murphy reflected on Jocelyn Briski’s outing, what made this 56-win team so special, and why he’s already excited about the future of Alabama Softball.

#Alabama WBK's Pauline Love on Tulane: "Its all about mental focus at this point. I told them the rim is still the same height, the ball has the same amount of air in it. Tulane is going to be really disruptive defensively. I tell them when Alabama comes into town, they want to beat you."

#Alabama WBK's Pauline Love on preparation: "I tell them all the time, even if they are not in the game, their mentality should be a mental rep even if you are not getting reps on the court. The system we play is such fast paced, there is no way anybody can just play 40 minutes of it."

#Alabama WBK's Alayna West on her mentality this season: "I feel like my mentality is I work for it. I entered the transfer portal to bet on myself and I did that. I am really happy with how i am playing right now and my decision."

#Alabama WBK's Kylie Torrence on why the team's chemistry is clicking right now: "We understand each other. We come in everyday, we work for each other. Our bond is good."

#Alabama WBK flips the switch in the third quarter to cruise past Alabama A&M 96-43. Kylie Torrence posted a season-high 18 points and 8 rebounds. Alayna West contributed with a stellar 16 points and 8 rebounds. Next up: a true road matchup against Tulane this Sunday at 12:00 p.m.

Alabama A&M gives #Alabama WBK a tough stretch as they grab momentum heading into halftime. Vanessa Wimberly leads the Lady Bulldogs with 12 points, shooting two of four from three. Kylie Torrence and Aaliyah Roberson are tied for 6 points. The third quarter will start soon.

#Alabama WBK ends the quarter with a 19 point lead against Alabama A&M. The Crimson Tide are leaning on their fast-break opportunities, smoldering defense and quick ball movement. The second quarter is underway.

We are underway as Alabama WBK welcomes in Alabama A&M for tonight’s matchup. Can the Crimson Tide continue their winning ways so far this season? Stay tuned with me and @JyeNance for updates, stats and more!

Last night Alabama WBK improved to 2-0 under Pauline Love, fueled by Alayna West's near triple-double, 26 steals and a dominant 67-point advantage in bench scoring. sneeshsports.com/articles/al…

#Alabama WBK's Pauline Love on the mindset of the team right now: "Toughness, that's the word for this week. I mean three games in four days, that's hard on anybody. I feel like we are prepping for the NCAA tournament right now."

#Alabama WBK's Pauline Love on Alayna West's double-double performance: "This does not surprise me with Alayna. She has been this way since stepping foot on campus. She felt like she was the underdog a little bit. It was great for her tonight."

#Alabama WBK's Pauline Love on getting ready for the next game after tonight's win: "I told them to enjoy it for the next 10 minutes. Go in the locker room, enjoy it and have fun. We have film uploaded and a quiz to get them ready for tomorrow. It's just that quick."

#Alabama WBK's Aaliyah Roberson on multiple players contributing offensively: "It just takes the pressure off all of us individually and just helps us flow better on offense. It's not just one person scoring, it's collective so it's hard to scout and defend us."

#Alabama's WBK Mykelle Richards on conditioning under Coach Pauline Love: "I definitely think some of us really have that sprint out run, keeping a fast pace the whole entire game as much as we can. Taking out in transition, moving the ball fast is the key in our game."

#Alabama WBK's Alyana West on her double-double performance tonight: "I play every game and do what I can every game. This game my coaches put me in a position to do more so I think I showed that and my teammates helped a lot with that too."
