deal falling feeling hard moments night points short victory wish
There were a lot of different moments you wish you could have again. The feeling all night was the victory was right there. Defensively, we did all we could. We really wanted it. Falling two points short is so hard to deal with. I don't want to feel like this again.
although build last momentum start stretch tougher
This last stretch was good. Although we didn't play tougher teams, it was an important stretch. We could start to build some momentum going into the conference.
half matter parts regardless rhythm season second sort worry
This is one of the most important parts of the season no matter who we play because right now we just have to worry about us and what we need to do and try to get some sort of rhythm going in the second half of the season. Regardless of who we play right now, it's just a really important part of the season.
feelings frustrated hardest head needed personally replay represent slip
The most overwhelming feelings I have right now are being frustrated and angry. You replay things in your head that you let slip away and it makes you so mad. The hardest feeling for me personally is feeling that I didn't do what I needed to do to represent the program.
both definitely game riding
Definitely a lot is riding on this game. I think it?s definitely a big game for both teams.
Coach, we don't want you to give up on us.
coming focused four giving knowing
That's just something we've been focused on doing, coming out, giving it our all. Just knowing that it's the end of four years, we want to make the most of every situation.
close homebody
That's great. She is probably so happy. She's a homebody and close to her family.
ended excited felt minds season team
There is a sense of urgency. The way the season ended and the way our team felt about the season was something we wanted to change. It was on our minds constantly. Everyone is really excited about the season. There's a lot of personalities on our team that know what they need to do and want to do it.
among far final
We really have come so far just in this year. That sense is still among all of us that we really should be at the Final Four.
hard jersey realize
We really have come a long way and accomplished a lot. It's going to be hard for me to realize that and I'm not going to be in a Connecticut jersey any more. I don't think that's really set in and I don't want it to either.
national
We really have been through a lot and done a lot of different things and had two national championships. We really have done a lot.
anybody came definitely energy hope lacking ready reason single situation team
That's the reason you come to Connecticut every single year. You hope to be in that situation so everyone that came here and everyone that's here right now definitely thought we'd be here. I don't think there's anybody on our team right now that's lacking confidence. We have a lot of momentum. We have a lot of energy and we're ready to play.
attack close coach deal fact force frustrated good heart pull teams win work
That?s the one thing that Coach is really kind of harping on right now and frustrated with more than anything, the fact that we do get up and then let teams come back in. Then we force him to have a heart attack before we pull it out. I think it?s good to see (that we were able to close the deal Sunday); it?s a good win for us, but that?s something that we still need to work on.
