Vanderbilt Quotes

Center Chantelle Anderson:
"I think Connecticut will be a good measuring stick for us. This tournament gives us a lot of games in a short period of time. We get to play a good basketball team on Sunday and see where we are this early in the season."

Colorado quotes:

Head Coach Ceal Berry:
