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....

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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...

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...
