It's intense, and it's fast-paced. I want to get out there and get as many reps as I can and don't want to think about the negative side of things. I'm real optimistic.

In my heart, I believe Tech is one of the best 24 teams in the nation.

I'm proud of what I've done here. I think I've done as much as I can here, and I know that I've given it my all. That's all you can do.

It's been hard to deal with not being able to win championships here. I'm a winner, and I want to win every time I step on the court. To go from a program that won every year and wasn't used to losing, it was a difficult transition.

We would go down to the Big 12 tournament and win it outright. Win the whole thing and finally get one of those trophies.

We knew we had to win today. Our hopes are to get to the Big 12 tournament and win it all.
