aaron breakout game lead together wish
I wish he'd already had that breakout game because you know it's coming. They're going to put it together soon, and Aaron is going to lead them.

almost attention colorado deserve impossible pay putting together
I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to what they say. If I were putting together a 64-team (field), I think it's almost impossible to say Colorado does not deserve it.

We felt like if there was an area we could dominate, it would be the boards. It's comforting to know we don't have to shoot well and we have a chance to make second and third shots.
