"Now the next level for us to move forward is to be able to do what UCLA did. Okay, they have been going Sweet 16, Sweet 16. What did they do? They go get Janiah Barker and bring her off the bench. She's an All-American. They go get Lauren Betts and let her play. Timea Gardiner. Like, they went and got pieces that allowed them to move forward."
"I'm not one of those coaches that, I'm not going to sit here and say, Oh, you know, it's all about the kids, it's all about the kids. Yeah, but I have dreams, too, and I want to be a Final Four coach."
Q: You sort of alluded to this, but you know LSU very well, you've been scouting UCLA, faced them, how do you think that matchup plays out on Sunday?
YOLETT McPHEE-McCUIN: No comment. "I'm rooting for the SEC though. You know, Kim Mulkey been around for a long time. You can't count her out. She's an OG. She will figure it out. I wish -- they're going to ship us out, but I wish I could be here to watch that (laughing)."
She talks a lot about Betts. Implies that the reason Mississippi was able to knock off Stanford 2 years ago was that Betts didn't play enough. Clever comment by interviewer: "so it worked out well for both you and Cori Close that Betts didn't play much that night."
