I think we are on the right track. As much as I would like to have the atmosphere that we would have at the Lloyd Noble Center, I think that this is probably best for...

After 30 days of practice and three wins now, it was not something I expected. I was very surprised there was a lack of poise from particularly my point guards.

The thing that’s truly been remarkable is that there hasn’t been a swoon. She’s been consistent with her scoring, consistent with her rebounding, she’s taken care of the basketball, and she’s played at her best...

I just watched film of Anne Donovan and Nancy Lieberman and Cheryl Miller, and I’ve never been on the floor next to them when they played. But I’ve never in my 10 years as coach...

Her play was similar to how it has gone all season. There was a lot of single coverage. She is such a dominant presence. She shot her free throws well today. Even the ones that...

I don’t think there’s ever been anyone who could touch what she’s done. For her to separate herself from everyone in this day and age is really special.

That’s what makes you a good team. I feel like we have a lot of guys who can answer.

There isn’t a physical prototype that preceded (Courtney). You have to look at the men’s game and talk about comparisons to Shaq, how his frame and his ability transcended the game as we know it....

If we know we’ve got one graduating, we’re looking for another one. It’s like getting a point guard or a shooter. It’s a kid with an edge. You have to have some of that.

She has been an incredible mentor to me. I feel like I have been given a gift in being able to coach against her.

We got some good looks and converted. Sometimes that’s easier said than done, and we were able to blow the score up.

She guarded, she came up with rebounds, she managed the game she did all the things a premier point guard can do. I tell you, she runs the show.

I’m so proud of our kids. I thought they competed well and showed team unity throughout. I realize we set the game back 15 years with our turnovers. You throw it to them 32 times...

I think that the best teams don’t always just have the best players, but the players who play the best together.

Roy Williams, who’s a dear friend, left me a message. He said, ‘I tell you what. You better be thankful that she’s a girl. If she was a guy, she’d have one year and be...

It’s a tough field. Obviously there’s a lot of tradition and a lot of prominence in women’s basketball represented here. It bodes well for high-caliber games.

The Big 12 Conference lost a lot of talented players to graduation, but there are a lot of new names. It’s kind of a changing of the guard. It is a very talented freshman group.

This atmosphere and this environment was the best possible preparation we could have for the NCAA tournament.

You don’t think you’re going to win by that kind of margin going into the Sweet 16. More than sending a message to other teams, it sends a message to us.

Forests shouldn’t exist. The trees in the middle of the forest don’t get enough light or nutrients to survive.

I do realize that we probably set the game back about 15 years by our turnovers. But to win in spite of that … there must be some other things that you’re doing pretty well.

Brooke made some tough, tough shots. That 14-of-16 did not come easy.

Our players have such tremendous respect for Marsha. I wanted them to be a part of treating her the way she has always treated us.

I don’t know that any of us could have ever looked at any 18-year-old kid, at any point in the history of this game, and thought that they could display the consistency that she has...

Early in the half we did a good job of holding them off. We did enough on defense to keep them from scoring.

There’s nothing easy about being good, and to be good for 16 straight games is a pretty amazing thing.

They sent a lot of defensive looks at her. In the first half, she panicked. We just told her to be patient, to pass or fake and go in to score. That forces other teams...

What a great preparatory environment for postseason play. We’re going to get all the energy and passion and emotion from an Elite Eight game that sends you to the Final Four or the atmosphere of...

We probably set the game back about 15 years with our turnovers.

We had to expend so much energy just to get back into the game, and we could never get over that hump.

Without Erin’s three-point shots, we’re not even in the game in the first half.

I thought our crew was good once we got going. We had a little trouble adjusting to the altitude at the beginning. It took us a little bit to get our second wind. We carried...

I don’t know if you can put your arms around really what she’s capable of.

That was probably the best first half we played all season.

I think women’s basketball hinges on not just the play of, but the personalities of, its superstars. I think Courtney and Candace fit that bill. But as far as a head-to-head rivalry, they don’t play...

The absence of Marsha on the Texas Tech sideline is a blow to the university, it’s a blow to our conference and it’s a blow to women’s basketball. It has been an honor and a...

I think we are still getting better. Sometimes at this time of year, it’s obviously about how good you are, but it’s also about how you are together. And I don’t know if I’ve been...

Our guards were intimidated and Connecticut kicked us down the floor for 40 minutes.

[Reunion] was so loud you couldn’t even speak. [Saturday], during free throws you didn’t want to have a conversation or chew your popcorn because everybody next to you could hear it. This is a beautiful...

Our identity encompasses toughness now because she supplies it. She wants the ball, she’s not afraid of any type of defense or any type of circumstance, and she guards the heck out of people.

It’s a called play. It makes the defenders chose between Courtney and our 3-point shooter. We know we’re not just Courtney. That’s why we were 16-0 in the conference.

She can do so many different things.

Offensively we just sputtered. (UT’s defense) forced our feeders to make bad decisions. Our timing getting the ball to (Paris) was just miserable.

I think one of the things that make a player so special and so dominant is their ability to make everybody around them better. And, as you saw on several occasions today, Courtney did that.

This might have been our best team effort.

I wouldn’t say it left a bad taste in my mouth. But I felt like it negated our ability to send a really resounding message to anybody who might be in our path as we...

That’s a recipe for a championship.

It’s our poise, our composure and our confidence together that allowed us to win this one.

Without a doubt, she’s changed the complexion of everything.

Laura really challenged (Anderson) down the stretch and made it hard for her to catch the ball.
