coming feed finally happens hope tried
I think when something like that happens you just kind of have to play through other people. You kind of feed off of them and just hope to get back and find yourself somehow. So that's what I tried to do and finally I feel like I'm kind of coming back.
believe everybody final four great honestly national piece plays seen stop takes team won
I just think we have all the things you need right now. I feel like if everybody does their piece and plays up to their potential, there is no team that can stop us. I honestly believe that. It's great to think about it like that. Being in the Final Four and having won the national championship twice, we have seen what it takes to win. I see that in us now.

And I think we've all just made a conscious effort of being better leaders and doing whatever we need to do for our teammates.
