anyone kindness threw
I've never had anyone play so physical. I'm young, and it kind of threw me off. It got me riled up.
definitely good gotten half physical second teams toward
Toward the second half of the season, teams have gotten a lot more physical. They did a good job, and I think that is a good strategy, but it was definitely a lot more physical than it has been.
chance good
We're really good right now. But I think we have a chance to be really great.
basketball seemed
She was so animated. It seemed like she made basketball more fun.
license madness talking
She's been talking all this madness about getting a car, and she didn't even have a license yet. The kid's silly.
running
She's always running her mouth. She's always got something to say.

She is just thorough. She can shoot from the left side, she is a big girl and she tried to post me up and you have to pay attention to that situation. She got a lot of opportunities and converted.
college few high ivory last later months weird year
It's pretty weird to think that last year you're in high school, and now you get to college a few months later and you get to be with Ivory and all these other guys. It's humbling.
built college definitely felt gym hostile lucky played road
It was my first college road trip, and it's still the most hostile gym I've ever played in. They rallied after we built up a lead, and I definitely was rattled. I felt lucky to come out of there with a win. It wasn't pretty.
brothers easy nature people physical
It's what we did all day, all summer. My brothers didn't take it easy on me. It's easy to be physical and have a physical nature now, because big brothers are probably the most physical people you go up against.
bit excited
As a kid, that's really what it's about, big tournaments. I'm excited and a little bit overwhelmed.
fun game games less meant numbers seniors
This is probably one of those games where I thought less about my numbers and less about my game. It was emotional. Our seniors have meant so much to me. It was so hard, but so much fun to come out and play for them.
fun special
I think we'll be able to do a lot of special things if we're able to play like that. That's fun when everything is going well.
remember
I remember thinking, 'Man, I want to be like her when I get older.
