crunch rather saying teammates time
If someone has to take them especially at crunch time then I'd rather take the shot. I'm not saying that my teammates can't make the shots, but I'd like them to come to me every time.
arena challenge civic establish greatest history ourselves possibly program prove school step themselves tough trying underdog yes
When you step into an arena like the Civic Center, with so much history that they've made in there, yes you do come in as the underdog because they've done what they've had to do over the years to prove themselves as possibly the greatest program in the country. We're trying to establish ourselves as a powerhouse school as well. It's going to be a tough challenge to see where we are as a team.

I really don't understand how a men's and women's program wouldn't get along. It's like brotherhood and sisterhood with us.

I'm just glad to be part of the history here. I'm more happy to get a win than the 2,000 points.

It just came down to the fact that it was my home-town school. I grew up around here, it was the opportunity for me to play in front of my friends and family.
