00:00gives you confidence of it that this team is capable of going further than last year?
00:04I think just the the trials and tribulations we've been through. I mean this season has not been
00:10pretty. There were there were moments when we could have kind of given up and we didn't and
00:16I think that speaks to our resilience and just our our will to to want to win and just just play
00:21together. What would you describe this like playing in the NCAA tournament the different vibe that it
00:25is in any other tournament you've ever been in? I've been in it one time so I I don't know really
00:32what to compare it to but it's it's just so different. So many teams from all over that
00:39you know you never get to play against there there is no familiar like you're not you're not
00:42familiar with most of the teams so to be able to kind of combine everybody together and and just
00:48create so much excitement around women's basketball it's it's amazing. The celebration today it is it
00:55is a long season there's a lot of work behind the scenes to get to this right here where you can take
01:00a breath and then brand new season right? What's your mental approach now that you've had a few
01:04days off to prepare and just rest and then now it's go time? Yeah I think just enjoying my time

01:17to be able to kind of shut everything out and and just go tunnel vision for
01:22as long as possible a month or whatever but yeah just just creating that
01:29you know now I'm kind of in this space where nothing else is around me.
