Going into this tournament, we have the mentality that we're trying to win the whole entire thing. We take it personal. We need to play well. We're not relaxing at all. We're focused on our first opponent and we're just trying to take care of business and get that first win.
We have the opportunity to do something special. We?re trying to put Arkansas back on the map.
We were just trying to take it to them and make them commit fouls.
We just wanted to go out in the second half and play aggressive and not let them jump on us first. We were trying to put the game away.
It was difficult trying to get around them. They were really big on cutting you off and screening hard. I still feel we played good defense.
Being able to read each other and trying to find each other on the court makes our team better. We're trying to step up as leaders and captains of the team. It's really important for us to make the NCAA Tournament.
