1 2014 NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Lincoln Regional Championship #1 UConn vs. #3 Texas A&M Pinnacle Bank Arena Lincoln, Nebraska Practice Day Sunday, March 30, 2014 TEXAS A&M PRACTICE DAY QUOTES Gary Blair, Texas A&M Head Coach: Opening Statement First of all it is good to see all the media here. This is a big thing. Going to the Elite Eight, the Sweet 16. And it s so much better than what it used to be. You re here at least 90 percent of you are here because you want to be here. It s not because you were assigned this game. You are here because you want to be here. And that s how far this game has come. This team keep telling us what we can t do and we ll show you what we can do. And I m proud of us. All of a sudden we ve won three games by 15 points or better and you say, well, they are not true University ofs. (No.) Don t give me that. It s like saying in the men s game Gonzaga or Wichita State are not true University ofs. We ve beaten three pretty good ball clubs. DePaul was an excellent ball club that we made look very average because of our defense. We always talk about offense. That s all that players and players parents want to talk about is offense. As coaches, we talk about defense, about rebounding, about doing the little things. When we get ready to play Connecticut, here s the bet that I will make will all of you all in here. They ve got five future WNBA first-round draft choices in the starting lineup. O.K. Not a doubt unless injuries happen. Other than that, that s how good those five are and there s more coming. But for 40 minutes Monday night, why not? Why not? That s what they said when we played Baylor back in That s what they said in 2008 when we played Tennessee in Oklahoma City, the last time Tennessee has been to the Final Four. We were up five with six to go in Candace Parker s year. And all of a sudden they were going to have to rewrite everything. We want to play in championship games. We want to relevant at the end of the year. If somebody s going to win a national championship, I want them to go through us first. A few teams have done that over the years. But at the same time, this team keeps getting better and better. I ve got two very good talented seniors up here and three sophomores. You don t see any of them on the USA Today teams. You don t see them on USA Basketball. Three of them have been cut from their teams. I bet they d like to go back and take some of these three to play. I like my team. I like our chances. I like Geno (Auriemma). I like Geno s team. I think it s his best team that he s ever had. He doesn t have the depth that some of other teams have had, but I really like what he has. And I know he s proud of his team. But I m proud of mine, too. On what tempo he wants the game to be We ve got to do what we do well. O.K.? There s no way you can go in and stop Connecticut. You try to contain Connecticut. You try to take away their strengths. Where their weaknesses are I m not sure besides their bench. Their bench because they just don t have the numbers that he usually has because of injuries. Yesterday I think the majority of the starters all played over 30 minutes to 37 minutes. We re still going to run the ball when we have the numbers. We re still going to run our set plays. I m not a motion coach. Obviously it hasn t worked the last two times I ve played Geno. I got beat by 30 and 31. We ve got a new year. Remember Baylor beat me three times in a row we won the fourth time. If I m not mistaken, everyone forgets this story Connecticut beat Notre Dame that same year three times and won the last one. All they want to do is talk about our Baylor game. It s hard to beat somebody the fourth time. I m more interested

2 in the third time. But what we are going to try to do is play within ourselves and expand our limits. Think out of the box. Think what we can be. It s just like growing up on the driveway as a little kid. 10, 9, 8, 7 and making that shot. You ve got visualize it. You ve got to believe in yourself for what you ve done to get yourself here. If you sit back and say, oh, there s Geno. There s Breanna (Stewart). There s Stefanie (Dolson). You ll get your butt handed to you. You ve got to go out there and first believe in yourself and I ve got to instill that into my team. You looked at five young ladies up here that could handle press situations. A press by Connecticut and the press by you. I m proud of them and what they are doing. On how this team compares to his 2011 championship team I think it s the backcourt (Sydney) Colson and (Sydney) Carter. And all of a sudden you have Tyra White and Courtney Williams are very similar. At the four position, we do not have an Adaora Elonu. We can play the small lineup with Tori (Scott) or we can bring in Tavarsha (Scott- Williams) or we can just mix and match. At the five position, Karla (Gilbert) is not Danielle Adams. She does it a different way. But look at how much attention she takes. People are constantly double-teaming her. I don t think Connecticut will because they have a 6-5 that can match up with her. And they bring in a 6-3 or 6-4 off the bench and I think they ll play straight up. They ll worry about the others. This team is getting that personality that 2011 had. Danielle Adams was the Charles Barkley before her time in women s ball. Karla is the George Foreman. O.K.? She s got that type of personality. She s the most easy going teddy bear you ve ever met in your life. Thank goodness she doesn t have to guard a 5-11 post because she got tore up yesterday by DePaul. Yesterday a kid that was very good at jumping into you. And we responded by jumping at her. And so each team is different. I m sure Geno said his Maya Moore teams, his (Diana) Taurasi teams, his (Rebecca) Lobo teams he always has a team that has the star with a collection of stars. I ve just got a good damn basketball and that s all it is. Great ain t in my vocabulary expect for Monday night. If we win, we will have played the greatest 40 minutes that we ve played this year. And that s what it will take. On the guard matchups I think (Jordan Jones) and Moriah (Jefferson) will be a game. There will be a lot of intertalking between the two best friends out there. Tell Moriah she can have the key to my house too. (Courtney Walker), (Bria) Hartley I think that s a great matchup. I think Karla (Gilbert) and (Stefanie) Dolson that s a great matchup. And then a triangle and two on (Breanna) Stewart. The triangle on Stewart and the other two just try and hang on. That s all we can do. We re not a very good zone team but sometimes we have to play a zone and hope they miss. We did that (against) James Madison for about eight minutes in the second half and it was very effective. They continued to miss. What we ve got to also do is limit their three-point shots and hope when they are missing them, they keep shooting them. But you cannot give Stewart the offensive boards and you cannot let Moriah get out in the transition game and start doing her thing out there. She s a very good left-handed driver. She s to me the most valuable player to that team, is Moriah Jefferson. Not the best player, but the most valuable player for what she s done for that team this year. On recruiting Moriah Jefferson You bet (we recruited her). I used to go watch her play with Grace Prep. After her homeschool, she d go over and work out with the Grace Prep boys team. That was with Isaiah Austin the Baylor guy and all of those guys. They d go play them. We d go over to Arlington to a rec center and watch her go. She went just as hard as the guys. They took no slack on her. Sure we all wanted her. Love her mom. Love her family. But the whole nine yards, she chose to go to Connecticut. So give her credit. But at the same time give us credit for what we have. Jordan Jones is going to bow up and it will be a match. I hope both of them can play 40 minutes and

3 neither one fouls out. I d like Stewart and Dolson and Lewis and everybody else to foul out, but I hope for those two because I m close to both of those kids. On what he saw on film when watching UConn I think some of the things you ve got to do is how you are going to guard the triangle or whatever variation that (Auriemma) wants to run off that. You ve got to stop the backdoor cuts. They are so good at it. We tried two years ago when we were an overplay team, and obviously that didn t work. We lost that one by 30 or 31. And we played more of the Wolfpack game moving to a defensive coordinator last year. Well, that didn t work. So, you ve still got to stop the basic things. Do not let them score easy. Make them have to put the ball on the deck and create offense because their first and second option is not there. And then when you do play zone because of foul trouble or whatever, you ve got to keep them off the boards. Their three-point shooting -(Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis) is just so good. Just think what she would be if she had as many shots during the ballgame as say (Meighan) Simmons from Tennessee. There s no telling what she could score. But she chose to come to a team where you ve got to share. And that s what makes Connecticut so special is that players will come to a team where you have to share for four years. There s no one and out players there. They have to share the responsibility, the leadership, the tradition - and that s what it s all a part of. If Geno had his way, there would never be a freshman starting for them. They would have to earn their way up, because I think I know how he operates. And he wants to bring that freshman up and respect the traditions, the ones that have been there before, and let them get there. And then there s the Stewart factor and the Taurasi factor and the Maya Moore factor, that you can t hold those horses back. On Connecticut being in the American Athletic Conference I think it s a little bit very similar to back when Louisiana Tech was in their heyday and all of sudden the University ofs started putting money into their programs and people started going elsewhere, but Leon (Barmore) stayed the course. He stayed there until he finally retired too early. But it was harder for Leon to get the games to inspire him and his teams to play at the highest level. And it was harder for the great players to go to Louisiana Tech versus going to where there was charter airplanes, per diem was larger and everything was bigger and better. It still can be done. But I know we are not going to let them in the SEC I know that. They will not come in. Obviously the thing that holds them back is their football program. Life is about football. Unfortunately it doesn t matter how good their men and women s teams are in basketball or in the other sports, it s still football driven. And that s what pays the bills and until they improve their football, they probably won t be invited to play in the right conferences. Can they go steal a few teams to come to their conference? I don t know. That s way beyond my pay scale. But I think Geno, the one thing in the women s game, we will play each other. There s a lot of teams that won t play the Wichita States or the Gonzagas or even the Louisiana Techs. We will play. But that s how much respect Geno has as a coach, as a player it s good for our game. I d love to play them every year, but in the Elite Eight or the Final Four. But I wouldn t mind starting another home and home with them. I think the same thing will happen. I think eventually you ll see Tennessee back there playing. I m sure Muffett (McGraw) and them are working on deal. And it s good for television right now. But it was better in A team like Texas A&M won a national championship. It was good for all of us. Not just A&M. And in years to come, we need that from other powers. Maryland looked pretty good today. And so, I don t know, that s a long range answer to what, but that s all I have. On if teams are scared to play Connecticut It depends. Geno doesn t need to play the bottom half of a major conference. He needs to play the top third of a major conference. Right now, including his conference, there s six big-time conferences. I guess you could say seven. Big East and American. But the Big East is losing

4 two, so it might not be part of the big six anymore. I think the Big East is a very competitive league and they are doing very well and it s very balanced. The ACC is going to get stronger than hell with what they ve got going in. The SEC is back. The Big 12 I think is still solid. Baylor is always going to be good. Texas has gotten a whole lot better. And the Pac-10, Stanford is always going to be there. Now what can we do for parity? We can play those games in January and February for television s sake. It s going to hurt us more than it s going to hurt Geno, because Geno can leave playing a Tennessee or a Maryland and go back and play I can t say who he s going to play because it d look back. You know how it is. But it s no sweat off Geno s back. He gets three games in a week to get one great game to make his team better for the playoffs. He ll figure it out. Don t worry. He ll figure it out. On Arkansas hiring Jimmy Dykes Wow. Just heard it this morning. I know Jimmy personally from when I was there for 10 years and there isn t a better Christian young man than him. What a knowledge of that game that he has. And I admire him by one thing if people will remember he used to be my late night game when I first got there. He always had the Santa Barbara, the Gonzaga game the late night game as he s working his way up. And I d always watch him and then he d come back home the next day. But Jimmy had paid the price in coaching. People forget that he s been at about five or six different colleges. He knows the game as well as anybody. Now can he handle the drama that goes with women s basketball? He s married, isn t he? So he ll know how to handle drama. He s just a good man. The one thing that I think people will relate to him, they will take him because he is one of their own. He s an Arkansas guy. The crowds will start coming back. The No. 1 thing can he build him a staff that will help sell Jimmy Dykes and the University of Arkansas to nationwide recruits? I m sure when he gets in the living room, he s just like he is on television. He ll do a great job. It was out of the blue, but I think they had a few other good candidates, but not a lot of great candidates because you can t steal somebody from a top-25 school right now. You cannot do it. It s too hard. The schools are taking care of their own. If you want to make that big splash, they probably looked everywhere because I know some other people that they interviewed. It just didn t happen. It can either be a home run or it can be a single. But I think it s closer to a home run because of the personality that that young man has. Texas A&M Student-Athletes Karla Gilbert, Texas A&M Senior Center On what she says to the younger members of the team about playing in the Elite Eight I don t necessarily know if they need more help. We re all sitting here and we re hungry. We ve watched basketball all day today, all day the previous days and it s just something we want. We re hungry for it and we re ready to get out there and go play. It s not necessarily because it s for UConn, it s because we want to make it all the way to the top. On the turning point of the season after the St. John s loss I think we just recognized what we were all capable of doing. Before that, we had been together, but a lot of people hadn t had the roles we are filling right now. I think it was just more figuring out exactly what we can and cannot do and getting a feel for one another. On and off the court, we also bonded well. We do a lot of things off the court also, just putting two and two together, is what helped us step up and realize exactly what we can and can t do. On if they ve heard from former players on the national championship team Most definitely. They are around everywhere. They may be overseas, we see a lot on the social networks. They tag us in everything, they re very proud of the coaches and the team. Sydney Colson is with our team now, what more inspiration could you need? They ve always backed us

5 up 100 percent. Even if we lost a game, they ll text and call and talk to you on social media. They re proud of us regardless. Kristen Grant, Texas A&M Senior Guard On what she says to the younger members of the team about playing in the Elite Eight Our team doesn t need a lot of help. All we can do is just go out there and work hard every day and show them the work ethic that is required of the team to be at the top. We ve been there before. We have a great, great team. They know what it takes, the coaches know what it takes, so we just have to go out there and perform. On the turning point of the season after the St. John s loss Yeah, Karla is right. We had a come to Jesus meeting after that loss. That really helped us. We just worked through some issues we had as a team. With the chemistry of the team, we didn t really have any. After that we bonded on the court and off the court. We started hanging out with one another as a group. We would ask the coaches if we could bowling, play laser tag together, and just that little bit of team outside of the court just really helped us as a whole on the court. It was a big change, we started winning, we started smiling more, high-fiving each other and just having a good time. That is what led us to the Elite Eight. Courtney Walker, Texas A&M Sophomore Forward On how they ve put what happened the last time they played UConn out of their mind We look at what we did and what we did wrong in the film and moved on from it for the next game last year. This is a whole new season and a whole new team; we re looking forward to tomorrow s game. Jordan Jones, Texas A&M Sophomore Guard On how much of her emphasis goes into her defensive play Defense is probably one of Coach Blair s greatest confidences in myself and I take a lot of pride in that because last year, coming off the bench, I was really the spark player behind Adrienne (Patcher), who was more the leading scoring point guard than myself. I was more of the defensive guard, I just really tried to keep that in my repertoire going into this year and using my quickness with my hands and my feet, it could give a lot of people problems. Also to my teammates, it helps them get in the passing lanes more, denying the ball, It just makes my job easier. I really thank coach Starkey because he is a basketball guru. He gave me all my mechanics, all I do wrong, all I do right. It s just up to me to fix it. On her friendship with Moriah Jefferson I m very excited. Me and Mo, it s not even a friendship anymore. She is family, she s like my sister. She has a key to my house, I have a key to her house. It s just great, we have that bond. We ve talked about it a lot, but we know that once we step on the court it s not Jordan and Moriah, it s UConn and Texas A&M. There is no friendship on the court and we both know that playing in high school. It s going to be a great competition between two great teams. On what Coach Starkey brings to the team Bob Starkey, where to start? He s just flexible, would be a great word to describe Coach Starkey. Some coaches just have one system and one defensive plan for every team, just do it one way every time. One game plan we might hedge a screen and go under, the next game plan we might jam a screen and go over the top. He just does a great job of recognizing what teams like to do and their strengths. He takes our strengths as well on defense and compares it to what they like to do. He just studies the game. He writes books, he reads books. He s always

6 in the gym, breaking down film. We get done with a game at 10 o clock, he ll stay in the gym until 1 a.m., come back and 7 a.m. and pick up where he left off. He is resilient with what he does and that s what makes him a great defensive coach. Courtney Williams, Texas A&M Sophomore Guard On the challenge of defending Breanna Stewart She is a great player, but I m not really worried about that right now. If we want to win, we have to play defense as a team. I could just try my hardest, do my defensive assignment that Coach Starkey gives me and just play my hardest. Locker Room Quotes Chelsea Jennings, Texas A&M Guard On the team s performance on both ends of the floor last night We really focused on transition defense, because DePaul was really dangerous in transition. We executed that, and that helped us build the lead. On differences in preparation between DePaul and UConn I feel like they re similar in transition. They re both really good and talented in transition offense. It s going to come down to our defense and being able to hold them under their averages. On what it means to have a chance at the Final Four It s good for us because we were known as the Kelsey Bone show. When she left, some didn t feel like we could live up to the expectations. I think we ve done that this year. On not getting caught up in UConn s accomplishments I think teams get caught up in seeing UConn on the jersey, and it turns into a mental factor. No matter who we play, we re going to get out there and play Aggie basketball. Curtyce Knox, Texas A&M Guard On being so close to a trip to the Final Four It s a great feeling. We get to come in and play UConn, and this would be a great game for us to win. We have a chance to shock the world. On not focusing on the name on the jersey The name on the jersey doesn t mean anything as long as you play hard. We believe in each other. On the difference in preparation between DePaul and UConn DePaul is great in transition, but UConn is the best in transition that we ve seen so far. I think the DePaul game really helped prepare us for this game. If we get back in transition, I think it should be a great game. On the importance of balance against UConn Transition points will be a big factor in this game. Whoever gets out and runs the most and attacks will obviously have an advantage. We have a great post game and great guards, so whoever can get out in transition will be in good shape. On if the approach changes being so close to the Final Four

7 I think everything is the same. We need to keep digging and keep playing hard. Against a team like UConn, we need to play every possession out to the final second.
