00:00Beth?
00:04Beth Harris, AP.
00:05Kiki, everyone knows there's more than just one person
00:08on this team, but do you feel like maybe tonight
00:11was kind of a defining moment for you guys,
00:13that you were able to suffer that loss early
00:17and then maybe showed people that all of us
00:21could play together and really build
00:23some momentum off this tonight?
00:26I wouldn't say this is our defining moment.
00:28I think we've had multiple moments this season
00:30of just team basketball.
00:31I think, if anything, the end of the season, the postseason,
00:34we've really been clicking.
00:35And it's at the perfect time.
00:37I would rather it be this way than any other way.
00:39So I think for us, it was just rallying.
00:41I think we just wanted it.
00:42We wanted it really badly.
00:43We didn't want our season to end.
00:45And as Avery mentioned, we work super hard in practice.
00:47We trust in what our coaches have for us.
00:48So I wouldn't say it's a defining moment.
00:50I think this is what we expect of ourselves.
00:52We expect to win in this tournament,
00:54regardless of if it's going our way, we have people,
00:56we don't have people.
00:57That's the standard here.
00:58We expect to win.
00:59So I think, for us, it's just keeping that thing
01:01the main thing.
01:06OK, we'll do one final question over here
01:08with Amanda for the student athletes.
