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.
determined focused game good happen last played stanford
We want it. In the Stanford game last year, I was horrible, and I think we all played pretty bad. That is something we are determined not to let happen again, and I think we are good enough when we are focused not to let it happen again.
anyone awesome bench freshmen
When you think back to our freshmen year, it was kind of like, if anyone got off the bench and got in, you wanted to see them do as much as they could. It's just awesome to see.
front jump people program
To play like that in front of so many people who have made the program what it is, you just want to go jump in a hole.
west
To have all of us go somewhere, to be all on the West Coast, too, it?s going to be really neat.
behind conference east excited regular riding title winning
A lot is riding on this game, definitely. A conference title is behind it. Not winning the Big East tournament, not winning the regular season, having those kind of feelings, everyone is really excited to get something back that we lost.
definitely ready steps time
They're definitely not going to take any back steps right now. We have to be ready for them to come out and play with everything they have at this time of the year.
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.
needed time
There was a time where nothing was really going on and it was kind of stagnant. I think we needed to get something going if we were going to win. So this was the time.
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.
