The old philosophy was kind of like, 'Let's start our own legacy,' whereas Coach Weis wants us to create our own legacy while honoring the past.

Nobody wants his legacy to be: 'He was a great NIT coach.

I enjoy the NIT. I don't know if anyone wants their legacy to be he was a great NIT coach, but by the same token, when you're given the opportunity to play in the tournament, you're excited about it.

They've had different paths to travel. As they try to create a legacy, I'm hoping they can build off this last month... . Obviously the month of January kind of skewed some things. But that doesn't mean the end of February and March can't change all that.

For us it's kind of a statement game. We've got a lot of critics and a lot of people said negative things that we don't belong here and we got here because of our name. We think we've got a lot to prove. We're still a team that's hungry.

Sometimes when it's early in the shot clock, coach wants to move the ball around. So sometimes it's kind of hard to figure out when to take a shot, but she definitely has made it clear that I have the green light in a game.
