athletes bit everybody gives team
There are so many athletes on this team. But everybody gives up a little bit to make the team better.
harder team understand
As a senior, I understand that every team comes at us harder because we're No. 1.
anytime game needs step team
Anytime your team comes off a loss, your game needs to step up another notch.
beat hard prove teams
All teams are going to try and prove they can beat the No. 1 team. They are going to come at us as hard as they can.
beat harder means prove teams
I don't feel any more pressure, but we know teams are going to try and come at us harder because we're No. 1 and they want to prove they can beat the No. 1 team. But I like that. It means they are going to play harder and that's going to make us play harder and it's going to make us better.

We don't want to lose to them twice. It was our mistake. We need to come out and play a little tighter 'D' instead of being so loose.

He knows what's going to happen before it happens. It's like playing a game of chess with him. He can see a couple moves ahead and orchestrate the game.
beginning couple
At the beginning there wasn't a lot of talking. But after a couple years went by we got a little more comfortable with each other and there was a lot more talking.
again final four goal people proud win
I've come a long way a lot more than a lot of people probably thought was possible. If we can get to the Final Four again and win it, that would be something to be proud of. That's the only goal now, the only one.
cut open wide
It was wide open every time. Just cut to the rim, and it was right there.
centers coming defense excellent gets help plays power scores
(Adrien) is a big help with our power forwards and centers coming in off the bench. Without him, it?s going to be a big adjustment. He comes in and gets a lot of rebounds, plays excellent defense and scores when he has to.
That part right there switches everything for me. That makes it 'game on.' I don't think about anything else from there on.
