Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey
On LamarÃÆ'Æ' ¢ÃƒÆ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"Give Lamar credit. Lamar's going to be tough to beat in that league. They are picked to win it, they were undefeated at home last year. They are very athletic and they run some good stuff."
On leadership from Kristy Wallace and Dekeiya CohenÃÆ'Æ' ¢ÃƒÆ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"Kristy got some big buckets for us. She shot the ball extremely well. She kind of did what you hope seniors would do. I thought Dekeiya was aggressive. She got a couple of offensive boards, she is a very good offensive rebounder. For two seniors, they were ready to play."
Junior Kalani Brown
On productionÃÆ'Æ' ¢ÃƒÆ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"It was one of my goals to average a double-double this year. I was close last year, averaging 15 [points] and eight [rebounds]. Having the dominance is what coach wants me to do, so I'm going to continue to keep doing it."
Sophomore Kristy Wallace
On the offense distributing the ballÃÆ'Æ' ¢ÃƒÆ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"I think our offense is best when we are moving the ball around. Kicking it. I thought we started a little stagnant and we had to get going, but once we had a few transition points we were able to kick the ball ahead and get the ball moving."

Lamar Head Coach Robin Harmony
Opening statement...
"Obviously, we played a very good team in Baylor and there's a reason why they're ranked third in the nation. You know, our kids are a little bit shell-shocked. There were some things that we could have done better - free throw line and getting back in transition. I think that our kids came in here and in the very beginning, we hung for five minutes and then the wheels came off. But, we have to look at this as a positive situation. We did shoot the ball 75 times, we just didn't put the ball down. And we didn't do well at the free throw line and gave them second and third shots. The part that's probably disappointing to us is that we do hang our hat on defense. We weren't playing our style of ball-line, mid-line. We weren't squeezing, it was just, we opened our gate right away and they just scored on us, pretty much at will. But, we know that we can repair the things that we need to work on and we just played a great team."
On facing the size of BaylorÃÆ'Æ' ¢ÃƒÆ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"That size is unbelievable. The high-low is something that is almost impossible to stop. The only way we did stop it was when we got three seconds for about four times and that was it. Even if you do try to stop it, they kick it and they hit the three. They'll probably be in the Final Four this year."
On the rest of their seasonÃÆ'Æ' ¢ÃƒÆ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"When it comes to conference, it won't be like this. We're going to be the Baylor and the rest of the teams will be the Lamar."
