"One of the hardest jumps to make as a player is from role player to featured player," Lawson said "It's very, very difficult. I can remember having to do that between my sophomore and junior year [at Tennessee] and it's not easy. You just have so much more responsibility and not only do you have so much more responsibility, you have more of the outcome of the game depending on your play. So I think what Napheesa and Katie Lou have done is really, really impressive. From a production standpoint, they've made that jump from their freshman to sophomore year, which is not easy to do."

"Having attended UConn practices and shootarounds, I learned more in those times than I do in five other practices with other teams, combined," Robinson said. "It's the attention to detail and not just one play, but on every drill. It trickles down from the coaching staff to every player, even those who may never touch the floor. … When you talk to Sue [Bird] and Swin [Cash] and those guys, obviously they played on great teams, but they talk about how he would put them in situations where it was almost impossible to succeed. Every day in practice. So he made it possible so that in the games it would be easy."
