believed bursting came chance choice country duke gave harvard maryland national nobody obvious reasons team winning won
It came down to Maryland, Harvard and Duke. Harvard for obvious reasons (it was her parents' first choice), Duke was a team that had not won a national title, but was already there (close to winning one). Maryland gave me a chance to do what nobody else in the country believed we could do. I like doing that, bursting people's expectations.
bad feels felt playing regardless shot stay win worse
It feels good, but the win feels better. I haven't been playing well but we've been winning. It would have felt a lot worse if we had been losing. I'm going to keep shooting, regardless of how bad I shot in the past. I'm going to stay confident.
anyone definitely expected gotten instilled reality since winning
We've just kind of instilled a winning mentality, that we can do it and we can play with anyone and it's been there since I've gotten there. So nothing's changed. It's reality and we definitely expected it.
anyone country except expect front mean name number single win
Does anyone expect us to win at this point? No, except for us. We're the underdogs. Just because of a little number in front of our name doesn't mean every single person in the country doesn't think otherwise.
fun reason win
There was no other reason to come back, just basketball. I wanted to win and have fun at the same time.
guaranteed lose national next power round win
Nothing is guaranteed in basketball. You never know in sports. We could lose in the first round next year, so we can't take this for granted. We have to do everything in our power to win this national championship now.
boxing came hustling stop
It came down to our defense. We didn't stop them. It wasn't them; it was everything we weren't doing -- hustling back, boxing out, the things that we can control.
game love opens players post
When you have two post players like that, as a guard, you just have to love that. It just opens the game for us so much.
energy picked waited
We picked up our energy level. It's unfortunate we waited that long.
ahead definitely expected quick
We definitely expected to be here. For us it's not, you know, a quick thing and it's not ahead of schedule. It's right on time.
arm biggest feeling game knew leave lost move needed team trying
I lost the feeling in my arm and I was trying to move it. I didn't want to leave the game. I mean, it's the biggest game of my life. I knew my team needed me on the court.
feeling few hand lost
I lost feeling in my hand for a few seconds.
bursting love team
I love bursting people's expectations. This team does it day in and day out.
confidence force full next year
Having us come back full force next year is going to be a confidence booster for us.
