It feels good to be at home because it's so rare.
forward good looking moving ncaa stepped team
It was a heartbreaker. I thought we had a good look (on Neely's shot). I thought my team stepped up, and I am looking forward to moving on into the NCAA tournament.
against best carrie defense extra free good great hit job mason missed next pass ran seen selection shot shots shown team tech tremendous virginia
I thought Carrie Mason was the best I've ever seen her. Obviously, she missed just one shot. Her shot selection was tremendous. She hit big shots when she need to. She hit all of her free throws. She ran the team and she did a great job. Virginia Tech did a good job of making the extra pass which is shown by the 18 assists. That's what you've got to do against a defense that's going to come at you. That's to penetrate and then find the next one. They did a tremendous job of that.
drawing focus good ncaa tournament
I thought we got a good look too. We will go back to the drawing board. We're really not just going to focus on this. We will focus on the things that we've done to be able to be better and go into the NCAA tournament with a lot of confidence.
basketball fell finished four games good growth last mentality ncaa overtime pressure round took top tournament virginia win
I think it's just the growth of the program. Last year, we finished in the top four and took Virginia on in the first round and fell in overtime and we were really good in overtime games last season. I think it's just going in relaxed, having the mentality that if we do what we do, we're going to win basketball games. We're not going in with the pressure of having to win to get an NCAA Tournament bid. We just need to go in and play our best.

In the stages of growing and developing that teamwork and trust for each other on the defensive end of the floor, you have to help them believe that you're going to get there. It's not just the (wins). They can see the results in different possessions. And as they gain confidence possession by possession, they see themselves beating good teams.
against attack basketball defensive difficult effort georgia good great job match mindset number offensive playing size team tech
Georgia Tech is playing great basketball right now. They, on the road, are going to be a real difficult match up for us. They've got great size and really do a good job on the defensive end of the floor. They are the number one rebounding team in our conference. We're just going to have to have a great rebounding effort against them and go in with the mindset that we're going to attack on the offensive end.
basketball good match playing types work
The important thing for us, we are not playing the program, but a basketball team. We will work on the types of things we need to do to match up with a very good team.
believe leader quite strong
Quite frankly, it's what Holly (Johnson) told them during that timeout. Holly is a very strong leader for our team, and when Holly says, 'We've got this, you guys,' they believe her.
seniors
Our seniors have been able to do so much.
folks step time
We had some folks step up for us who weren't necessarily big for us all year. That's what you've got to have this time of year.
