Transcript

00:00post-game scene, like in the locker room celebrating, and Lindsay, seeing that scene kind of play out,

00:05knowing how far this program has come since you took over, it's been over 30 years since

00:10you guys have won a regular season conference title, I guess what does that mean to you, just seeing them celebrate?

00:15I mean, it's as fun as it gets, right? Like, that's what you just, you want them to achieve their goals,

00:20you want them to experience these moments, and that's the best thing, but it really goes down to our staff.

00:25Veronica's never won in poly, and she's been on the staff and a player here for a long time.

00:30We have an entire team in there, players, coaches, everyone who are champions,

00:35and that bonds you more than anything, and then to do it the way we did it, or it was,

00:40like I said, these two are unguardable, I think they're both playing their best basketball now,

00:45which is scary, someone asked about Kiki in the second half, well she didn't really play the first half

00:50because of the fouls, so we just know there's no matchups for them, but the way they've empowered their teammates

00:55to be great too, I mean, Rhea with five assists and zero turnovers, I mean, come on, at the five spot,

01:00that's unreal, and like they mentioned, Malia Samuels off the bench really sat there for the first half,

01:06and then came in and was a plus 13, so to have the celebration after the way that we played together

01:12is very, very gratifying, and it's just fun, it's college basketball, it's supposed to be fun,

01:16there was confetti and water and cheering for each other, like you just relish those moments.
