It's been a fun year. I've had a lot of things come through for me.

It's always good to have seniors on the court because they've been here and know what it takes to get a national championship.

They handed it to us on our home court, and we hate losing on our home court. So we knew we had to have a big game today.

We want to go get respect. That would mean a lot. I think we're slowly getting there.

We all know how it feels to lose and we don't like losing. I'm pretty sure we'll work hard and have more composure and enthusiasm in the next game.

We have to stay focused. We have to play all 40 minutes. We have to play just as hard as we did against Tennessee in order to get this win against Mississippi State.

I'm sure a lot of us from Tennessee are ready to go play in front of our family and our friends. It'll be a big game.

My role has kind of evolved (through the season). I didn't know what to expect when I got here, and I never expected to be starting as a freshman. I guess you never know.

This wasn't a surprise. We start getting ready for them (today) and we'll see how it goes from there.

We're ready. We feel like we can beat anybody. It's all about playing well at the right time now.
