Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sweet sixteen game and now you're onto the lead eight.
How did it feel out there with all that excitement?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Amazing? Everybody did create, everybody did their job and more.
It was a great win. It felt great being out
there with my teammates. Yeah, I can't wait so excited
for the next game.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's pretty darn physical. It seemed out there too, and
you battled it down there, pulled in some big rebounds.
What was your mindset going in and response on how
you feel you can grow on this one as you
progress in the tournament.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Absolutely. I think my mindset walking into the game was
defense and rebounding, and I mean, my shot will go in.
If it didn't go in, it doesn't matter. I think
mainly doing my part on defense and rebound and grating
those rebounds and using line. So I think that was

(00:50):
the main thing for me walking into the game, and
I think I did all right on that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
So us about the high screen role, whether it's Sarah
sitting screen or you or a Raid or whatever, it
seemed that was something that they couldn't defend. That part
of that was that part of the offensive press.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Maybe I love it, but yeah, I try as much
as I can to help my teammates out when I'm
I'm on the floor, set screens, grab rebounds, play defense.
Just I use my voice, bring energy. I think that's
the main thing for me whenever I'm out there and
just trying to enjoy it. It's my first time playing

(01:30):
in the tournament and it felt amazing. It feels great,
feels great just being out there my teammates. Like I
said before, it means everything to me and it's just
just amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Well, congratulations, you're going to the leading.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Thank you, good luck.
