Q1 Winning without key players
Camp, this wasn't their best night, but to beat a talented team and really control the final second half when two of your best players are not at their best, what does that say about this group?
That just shows how deep we are. Like, we had played 8 games where I haven't been on my best, some games where Yaxel Lendeborg wasn't at his best, everybody. So our teammates being able to pick them up is just something that we're really special at because we have so many players that can do that.
Q2 Dominating the glass
Rebounding obviously was a point of emphasis this week for you guys. Let both ends. He dominated them on the glass. How important was that to the victory?
It's definitely important. We know most games that we come into, we have a size advantage. So just us attacking the offensive glass, we count those as defensive stops. So we try to do that as much as possible.
Q4 Mindset for this weekend
I heard guys saying as they were coming in here that we're going to win here. What is the, just the focus of this group and the intention of you guys to get two wins here this weekend?
Yeah, that's definitely our goal. Our goal is to win a national championship. So getting to the Elite Eight is not, it's a good accomplishment, but it's not something that we're that excited for.
