To play like that in front of so many people who have made the program what it is, you just want to go jump in a hole. |
We all came here because we wanted to be part of this program. It's about tradition, about the players who have been here. |
We all left that meeting kind of feeling renewed. He just kind of laid it all out on the line. I think the most important thing that came out of it is that it's not too late for us to really make our mark and to make the postseason go the way we want it to. And I think we've all just made a conscious effort of being better leaders and doing whatever we need to do for our teammates. |
We have some momentum on our side, definitely. I think the biggest thing is that we know we can kind of push through some things and come through a lot of adversity and count on each other. So I think that's something that's really important going into the tournament. |
We put it all on the line. We didn't need him to tell us what we had to do, but sometimes it adds a little boost. |
We really have been through a lot and done a lot of different things and had two national championships. We really have done a lot. |
We really have come a long way and accomplished a lot. It's going to be hard for me to realize that and I'm not going to be in a Connecticut jersey any more. I don't think that's really set in and I don't want it to either. |
We really have come so far just in this year. That sense is still among all of us that we really should be at the Final Four. |
We want it. In the Stanford game last year, I was horrible, and I think we all played pretty bad. That is something we are determined not to let happen again, and I think we are good enough when we are focused not to let it happen again. |
We were experiencing a little lull at the time when they were going on a run. We needed to step up and make something happen. |
When you play teams like that, they are more desperate. They're going to play with a sense of urgency. |
When you think back to our freshmen year, it was kind of like, if anyone got off the bench and got in, you wanted to see them do as much as they could. It's just awesome to see. |
Winning on the road is one of the most important things. You have to have things going against you and show that you can overcome it. |
You look at Barbara, Will, all of us, this is when Connecticut starts to play. When the tournaments come, this is when we always play our best. |
You think you'd get sick of each other eventually. But it doesn't ever seem to get like that. |
