coach dakota definitely eight elite last lucky north opportunity ready second team win words
The North Dakota win was great, but we have to get over that now. I know once we get to Arkansas, my team will be ready to play. Last year, coach Jewett told us we had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because you never know if you're ever going to make it back to the Elite Eight again. Now, we are lucky enough to have a second chance. I'm definitely going to take those words to heart.
awhile close forgot remember somebody
That's pretty cool. Somebody told me awhile back that I was getting close to 1,000 rebounds, but I kind of forgot about it. I remember it now.

North Dakota was very gracious in defeat. My parents told me a lot of their fans told them that on that night, the better team won, and they were happy for us and wanted us to do well.

It took about a week to recover from it. We had to go back to square one and the basics. We had to pull ourselves back together.

against half moved needed playing points second three trailing tried worked
We were trailing by three points at the half and needed to play better. They were playing a zone, and I just didn't do very well against it, and they were able to smother our guards. In the second half, I moved a lot more and tried to be more aggressive. It worked out great.
