We were here last week. I am really proud of this team. We were picked sixth and won the conference. We made it to the finals of the conference tournament. I think habit is a big part of the game. We go through routines as a team. We know the facility. We know the locker rooms better than anyone. We know the altitude. We hope to get fans from the conference. We feel really comfortable here.

beat deserve free games hard missing momentum second teams tie watched
I've watched so many games where the teams tie the game up with a 3 and take momentum into overtime. If they were going to beat us, they were going to do it the hard way by making a free throw, missing the second and getting the rebound. If they do that, they deserve to get into overtime.

The women's game is really changing, and it's really exciting to see it get the exposure that it really deserves. To see her dunk, to see players get so much more quicker, athletic, adds something to this game.

difficult fans far hard hopefully parents side trip
We feel like we play well here with the altitude. We hopefully will get fans here from our conference. It's not a real far trip for our fans. I've been on the other side when we've had to go way back out east, and financially it's hard to have parents and fans come. This is not a real difficult trip. We feel real comfortable here and hopefully we can play well.
