"Tyra (Grant) is Tyra. She's hard to guard. She's a next-level player and a very good one."
Suzy Merchant
Michigan State Head Coach, 1/17/10
"I thought Tyra played really great. She is a really great player and she has a lot of emotion. Tyra Grant is definitely their leader. And one thing you have to do when you want to win big games, big players play in big games. Tyra Grant played in this game. So compliments to Tyra."

Pittsburgh Head Coach, 12/12/09
"She's so athletic, she's so strong. Her presence certainly is huge, the physical attributes she brings to the table are probably the biggest challenge she poses. She is a different level of athlete."

Bucknell Head Coach, 11/19/09
"One of Tyra's strengths is that she loves the pressure and when the pressure turns up when a lot of other players shrink and become a shrinking violet, Ty becomes a sunflower and wants the ball. She wants the shot she wants the pressure, it doesn't matter how she's been playing. She's getting very good at picking her spots. She's got a good sense of when the team needs her to step out into the sunlight and take the pressure, she does it night in and night out. It doesn't matter who we are playing, if they're playing her man or zone, she gets the free throw line and makes baskets in transition or gets an offensive rebound. I think it's because she loves the pressure and she wants it. She gives the rest of the kids hope."

Penn State Head Coach, 12/28/09
"Tyra Grant went crazy. She's a fantastic player. She's a WNBA player. From the standpoint of her ability to score outside and inside, handle the basketball, shoot in traffic, we knew we'd have to do a good job on her."
Lisa Stone
Wisconsin Head Coach, 2/12/09
"Tyra Grant is a player. She doesn't do one thing well; she does all of them great. So you really have to be careful. She didn't have necessarily a good first half, but real players come to the dance when it's time to play."
Cynthia Cooper Dyke
Prairie View A&M Head Coach, 11/21/08
"She is a good player. One-on-one she is probably the best player in the conference. We obviously put a great deal of emphasis on her. I thought we did a pretty good job for the most part. She is a good player, really hard to guard."
Kevin Borseth
Michigan Head Coach, 2/9/09
"We knew coming in what Tyra is capable of doing. And that is what teams do. They have a lot of go to players. But she certainly put it on her shoulders and said to herself hey I need to get involved in this game, and she did. It didn't matter who we put on her or who stepped in to help, she is just a smart player. That is just what happens your key players step up."
