I am so excited I am going to a team that I can contribute to and learn from.

She's a great player. She'd just elevate right over you and make those shots. She's just a junior and she is going to be an amazing player next year.
conference far feels january looking since sure team
We've never been there before so I'm not sure what it feels like to be there. We started conference play 0-2 and things weren't looking good. We've come so far since January as a team and individuals.
ask change exceeded pressure
It doesn't put too much pressure on us. We don't have to win. We've already exceeded everyone's expectations. It doesn't change how we go out. We'll just go out and play 40 minutes. That's all you can really ask of each other.
against chance good guards point possible surreal until
I think I'm still in shock. It's a little surreal right now. I'm just so excited. I thought it was a possible chance that I would go early, but I was up against some other very good point guards in Nikki Blue, Megan Duffy, Erin Grant. So you really don't know until your name's called.

I think we've grown playing together and understanding each other. It's definitely helped us out and it shows in our record.

I'm still in shock. It's a little surreal right now.
close familiar highest played seed staying
Getting a 5 seed is awesome, the highest seed we've ever had, and we're staying close to home. We've played there before (in November), so we're a little familiar with it, and that should be in our favor.
change exceeded obviously
We're obviously still the underdog. We don't have to win. We've already exceeded everyone's expectations, but it doesn't change how we're going to go out and play.
attention double gets huge kim record school score shake teams
Kim can score from anywhere. She gets a lot of attention but can still shake off double teams to make huge shots. I set the school record for assists and most of them have to be to her. If you get her the ball, she finishes.
good stake utah
We know what's at stake and we're not afraid. I think that's a good thing. We're not overconfident. We're just going to go and try to play Utah basketball.
apart business care far great programs sets win
We've accomplished so much already. That one more win sets you apart from so many other teams, so many other programs and great players. We can't look too far ahead. We really need to take care of business (Monday) night.

We're just looking to go out and finish conference strong, improving like we have been and hopefully finish out with six more wins before we start the conference tournament.
care creating defense good team
We'll need to take care of the ball. Collectively, they're good at team defense and creating turnovers.
