“Tennessee is a young and very talented team. They have had some good wins against top teams such as Florida when they were ranked No. 5 in the country. Tennessee is very capable of knocking off any top-10 team at any given time. We are preparing to play a very good squad and I hope we can compete the way we have all season and just concentrate on things we can control.”
Manuel Diaz
“I had teams in Tennessee that averaged 34-35 wins a season and (WSU) is comparable. They're really talented. They really have a nice team.”
Don Meyer
“This is a very big rivalry. I think these are the two toughest teams, high school level, in Tennessee. It's always very close with two goals.”
Colleen Taylor
“Tennessee is dropping like a rock. It's looking like whichever team ends up with the higher seed (UNC or Tennessee) will end up in Greensboro with Duke.”
Jerry Palm
“It feels good anytime you beat Texas and Tennessee. Wins over those great coaches are very special.”
C. Vivian Stringer
“Teams come in and see Tennessee on the jersey and fold. The game is over before it even starts. It's a matter of coming out and giving it everything you've got, and that's what we did.”
Sarah Lowe
“Tennessee is an elite team and rebounds better than any team I've seen. We need to figure out how to get where they are by March. I think we were nervous in the first half, but finally got something going in the second half.”
