focused goal national prepared winning worry
We don't worry about seeding. We have to be prepared to play whoever, wherever. We're focused on our goal of winning the national championship.
emotional everybody felt great team win
It's great to be the first team to win here. I think it was kind of an emotional thing for everybody who's a part of it from the coaches, the managers, the trainers. Everybody felt something.
opportunity win
It's just another opportunity to win a championship, something that doesn't come easy.
national thoughts win
I just had a lot of thoughts about the opportunities we've had (to win a national championship). I also thought about the opportunities we have now.
feeling six win
Hopefully, we win six games, and we never have that feeling of disappointment.
winning goal legacy
That's the whole goal, to win the national championship. You can't have a legacy without one.
glad happy history win
I'm just glad to be part of the history here. I'm more happy to get a win than the 2,000 points.
clicking defense needed offense pick second time
We weren't energized, we didn't have any energy. Our offense wasn't clicking the way it should have been, and our defense wasn't the best. It was just the time that we needed to pick it up, especially in the second half.
defense energy
Our defense was tenacious. We had the energy which we didn't have at Connecticut. The defense initiated a lot of our offense.
arena everybody qualities responsibility shoulders walks
Everybody who walks into that arena has the responsibility of representing Pete Maravich. It's on our shoulders to not disrespect, (but) to play with the qualities of Pete Maravich.
across head slammed
I got slammed across the head pretty hard. I actually blacked out.
case chance drawing losing shot stopped whatever
I didn't want to take a chance at drawing a foul, losing the ball, whatever the case may have been, so I stopped and shot the jumper.
came needed second talked talking understand wrong
She came in and talked to us like young women. I think we can take to the talking more than the yelling. We understand what we did wrong and what we needed to do in the second half.
jump
My eye's on the prize. We want to win. But if we don't, I'm not going to jump off a bridge.
