time
It's been time consuming, but in the end, it's worked.
four given good great moving spent time together
It's been good for us, having a young team, to have those four hours. Lately, we've been moving from conditioning to more basketball. We spent some time together in the summer, and it's given us a great baseline.
believing great kids laying next people toward until wait
A lot of people have said, 'You're laying a great foundation,' but why shouldn't we be working toward this now? I want the kids believing that we don't have to wait until next year.
added checked cousins experience family occurred seen selection share
It's great! I'll get to see cousins that I haven't seen for years. I don't think I'll have enough tickets, actually. During the selection show, it never occurred to me that we would be going to Pennsylvania. I never checked where we were going. But today, after the fact, I know that being able to share this experience with my family will be an added bonus.
number running
I think we're in the running, but I don't want to put a number on it.
chemistry develop except maybe people talked worked year
A lot of people have talked about our youth, but they've worked through the chemistry issues. They're young, except for Renee, so our chemistry has had to develop all year long. I feel like we're maybe peaking at the right time.
blessed expect people telling
A lot of people were telling us to not expect too much. We've been blessed to be able to get that spot.
experience game outside prep stuff
I don't think it's necessarily game prep as it is the outside and this stuff that they haven't experienced. You have to let them experience it because that's part of the process.
biggest experience great learn physical
They do a great job. They're up-tempo, they're physical and they get right up on you. Turnovers have been our biggest downfall. I can say it over and over again, but part of it they are just going to have to learn as they experience it.
blown key offense transition
They're a transition team-they key their offense off their defense. That's an experienced team. We could've been blown out by 30.
chemistry found good hopefully picks
If one's not having a good game, someone else picks up. I don't know what it is. They have found this chemistry between them, and hopefully we can keep it going.
cylinders defensive focused grind worked
(UCLA) worked on all cylinders today. They're senior-heavy, they're focused and we didn't grind it out in the defensive end.
best chance last night regular season wins
We're banged up about as much as we can be and they don't complain. They rallied for our last night here at Haas (Pavilion) in the regular season and the chance to go to the (NCAA) Tournament. They put everything out there. This is probably one of our best wins of the year.
