very fast.
We play a new team on Friday, a very good team, so we gotta, direct our focus over to them.
Still riding hi- How much were you- Oh, go ahead.
How much were you able to celebrate though last night?
I celebrated with my friends, my family.
It was a good time.
It was a great time.

What's that like to play in these games three years in a row?
It, it's great.
It's something that I'll remember forever.
three straight years and three great endings is something that, you can't, you can't predict.

So like what have you learned from the, the last two NCAA tournaments?
really, really just every possession matters.
every game, every second, every time you get the ball, every time you defend, you gotta play like it's your last.
