Tennessee Player Quotes

Nicky Anosike

On guarding a smaller player in Dee Davis:
 “I played on the perimeter last season and in high school, and it’s really nothing I can’t do.  Guarding a point guard has never been a problem for me.”

On Pat Summit’s 900th  victory:
 “I was there for No. 880 and I was happy just to be a part of it then.  I am happy to be a part of No. 900 as well.  No one can say they have played for a coach that has 900 wins except for the 10 of us.”

Candace Parker:

On the value of have Alexis Hornbuckle at the point:
 “Alexis is a point guard and a leader.  She pushed the tempo when she was on the floor.  We all have to play different roles when No.14 is not on the floor.”

On the atmosphere of the rivalry:
 “It’s a great atmosphere and a great experience.  Our fans are great.  I was sitting on the bench last year and I’m just happy we came out with a victory.”

On the halftime talk:
 “We talked about defense and how we sagged on offense.  We gave up so many open three’s.  We came out in the second half and opened like we should.  We were standing a lot on offense in the first half.”
