KENTUCKY QUOTES

Coach Kenny Brooks

Opening statement…
“Obviously at this juncture, and especially with the way things have been going, it’s always good to get a win. Our goal right now is to continue fighting and get better and put ourselves in a position to be playing our best basketball when it really, really matters. We have to keep continuing fighting, and I thought in the first quarter we came out and we looked really good; we had a lot of energy, and that’s something that we’ve been striving for. The energy and them feeding off of their energy. I think we put it on cruise control the rest of the game and give Texas A&M credit; they really got into us, and they never quit. Joni does a fantastic job; she’s one of the best coaches in this league and one of the most respected coaches in this league, and her kids play extremely hard throughout. We knew they were going to come in with a lot of confidence from their win against Alabama. So, all in all, it is a win, and we have a lot of tape to watch. I’m very proud of this one right here; congratulations. I actually talked to Georgia for a long time today, and it never came up that you were about to break a record, but I will call her again tonight and tell her. Tonie and I were as connected tonight as we have been all year, and that’s something that we’ve been talking about. I’m very proud of her and her efforts to do that. It’s not just her coming in saying, “Hey, can we work on a jump shot or this or that?” She is working on all the aspects of being a great point.”

#5, Tonie Morgan

On her connection with coach…
“It makes it easy on the court when we’re on the same page. He knows what I’m thinking and makes the game go a lot better.”

On setting the new single-season assist record…
“It’s a surreal experience I want to thank my teammates because they made shots for me so I can get that record.”
