It took some time to get going, but for the final 15-20 minutes, it looked like Connecticut basketball. That was really good to see. That play [when Wolff hit the three] was one of the high points.

There's just so many things going through your head as a freshman knowing the plays, knowing when to cut, knowing what to do. It really is tough to find that kind of balance as a freshman. I think it's something you have to kind of play through to find, too. It's just part of being a freshman.

There is a sense of urgency. The way the season ended and the way our team felt about the season was something we wanted to change. It was on our minds constantly. Everyone is really excited about the season. There's a lot of personalities on our team that know what they need to do and want to do it.

Shots weren't falling. I felt like we had a lot of good looks and we couldn't get them to go down. It wasn't easy, and we made it harder on ourselves than we needed to. Defensively, we've been pretty consistent all year. It's something we could always rely on. Offensively, we have work to do.

I think as a player, you look at it the opposite way, too. You say, 'I wouldn't have been a part of it if it hadn't been for him.' I think that's the way we all look at it. We're fortunate to have played for him. I think it's awesome. You have to go through a certain amount of years [to be eligible], but it's something that he could have and should have had earlier.

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.
