BAYLOR POSTGAME QUOTES
Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey
On hitting 100 three times alreadyà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I don't put much stock in to breaking 100 points as much as I'm really just trying to figure out my team. I'm trying to figure out who needs to play together, who I need to sub for and when we get to those tough game who can help me, who can help us."
On the defenseà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"It's hard when we're in the press for me to talk about defensive principles. When I talk about that I'm really mainly talking about a half-court man-to-man and that's our bread and butter. It will always be. The first thing we got to do is make sure when we are guarding the ball we got to work our hands more and I thought we did that. "
On not focusing on the scoreà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"Don't look at the scoreboard, it's too early in the season. I'm not looking at that scoreboard. I'm playing game situations and timeouts. A hot situation is under 10 on the shot clock and we got to go defend right now, it's a tie ball game. That's what we're doing. We are constantly teaching, because we are going to be in those situations in a lot of non-conference games not to mention conference games. Teaching moments."
Senior Guard Alexis Jones
On the Florida tripà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"This tournament is very important. We are going to be playing a lot of fast guards. It is going to be great competition for us. It's another opportunity to get better. It's going to be very difficult. One trying to keep everybody focused, and not wearing out and you just got to stay focused and poised for the three games up there." On the post getting back involvedà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think their playing really well. They are starting to show their numbers really well. They are being patient, making their layups, making good decisions with the ball."

Southeastern Louisiana Head Coach Errol Gauff
On takeaways from the gameà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I thought it was a great opportunity for our university and for our team to come play a team of this magnitude. We knew it would be a difficult task. We knew that we were putting in building blocks to where we could aspire to be a team like Baylor."
On this Baylor Teamà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"Coach Mulkey has done an incredible job through her tenure here and I would be shocked if this team was not playing in the Final Four in Dallas later this year. They have all the parts. They have experience. They have perimeter play and they definitely have size and then they have subs to go along with that. It is a well-balanced team. We knew the size was going to be tough for us to deal with."
On foul troubleà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"We racked up a few in the first half and more in the second half. We really compounded the fouls. It's something that we are trying to deal with as a young team. We are trying to get our girls to play harder with more energy and with that, a lot of times our young ladies are putting their hands on the ball-handlers."
