Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey
On breaking records in this gameà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦ "We could have beaten a lot of teams today. We were just clicking on all cylinders. I was made aware after the game of all the records. You're happy for players who break records and when you get a chance for them to stay in another minute you do because it's not always going to be that way."
On Alexis Jones resting à ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I had this in my mind ÃÆ' ¢Ãƒ ¢' ¬" you know she and (Alexis) Prince have always had those injuries and they are so tough, they're two of the toughest kids I've coached when it comes to playing through pain. They have an extremely high tolerance for pain and she's got the bad knees and I just thought if we can get through the Tennessee game we could almost give her a month off here in December before that stretch run in conference and then in the playoffs."
Freshman Lauren Cox
On starting to feel more comfortableà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I am starting to feel more comfortable. I'm hitting my shots, making free throws, getting easy buckets, so I am starting to feel more comfortable."
On looking at the score during the gameà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I block it out for the most part. I'm just trying to play and do whatever I can for my team."
Senior Khadijiah Cave
On level of funà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"It was a lot of fun. We have to play with different people and see different lineups. Just coming back and playing in front of our fans for the last non-conference game, it was really enjoyable.
On getting being ready for conference playà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think it was a good sendoff being that this was our last non-conference game and everybody played well today. We all got to see different lineups and matchups, and we all just had fun and we played really good team basketball."

Winthrop Head Coach Kevin Cook
Opening statement à ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"Well, what do you say after a game like that? Baylor has a phenomenal program. Kim (Mulkey) is an outstanding coach. She's surrounded herself with an excellent staff. We've played some highly ranked teams this season, and by far Baylor is right at the top. You saw the game. You've seen the stats. They hurt us inside. They hurt us on the three-pointers. They're awfully good."
On facing Baylor à ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"First off, you need to sprint back because they're good in transition. You've got to pick your poison, and we didn't pick any. We got hurt inside. We got hurt outside. I'll be watching this group in the Final Four."
On key takeaways à ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"That's good. I thought we shot free throws pretty good. This is a young group, and we're going to continue to work with them. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and happy holidays."
