The league has always had so much talent. With Vanderbilt and Florida having to play in the first round is a testament to the depth and the strength of the SEC.

I am so proud of our team tonight. This was truly a team win. Everyone contributed to the win and that is the best kind of win you can get.

Florida, obviously, is a team that's playing well. They're playing basketball at a fast pace and pressing.

There's a fragile state (for Ole Miss) between the NCAA and the NIT, and that's been true each year. A free throw here, a rebound there ... the first two years we won those games.

She is the best player in the country, and che has been for the last couple of years. If you are not on the (opposing) bench, she is a pleasure to watch.

We talked about that in the locker room before the game. We had a chance to make history in a variety of ways.

I'm glad to know we still don't have to celebrate after a win. We looked like we still remember how (to react).

She has played very well this season, despite being the primary focus of each team we play. She plays so hard each and every game and is an inspiration for her teammates.

It's been a rough stretch. But at no time during that stretch did we act like losers, even though we were losing.

I'm not able to yank another All-American off the bench. I can yank an all-county or all-division player, but we don't have the depth, and that's a big difference.
