I just knew that whenever we got in sync, we would be successful. We just have to stay humble and continue to work hard. We knew it could flip any day. Any team can come and beat us if we don't continue to work hard.

Coach calls it blue-collar defense. We can't outscore other teams. That's not how we play. We have to play defense and use our pressure to take a team out of everything they want to do.

Like I said from day one, I'm just going to stay humble. I know that hard work pays off. It's just one of those things where I feel like hard work did pay off, but I'm still going to continue to work hard. I'm just going to continue to do the things I do, on the court and off the court.

We knew that we had to come in and play big minutes. I know that's two freshmen and a walk-on. But I don't call myself a walk-on.

The crowd was unbelievable. You get so much energy just off that steal, you couldn't hear anything else.

Words can't even explain it. I'm still way up on cloud nine right now.
