The North Dakota win was great, but we have to get over that now. I know once we get to Arkansas, my team will be ready to play. Last year, coach Jewett told us we had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because you never know if you're ever going to make it back to the Elite Eight again. Now, we are lucky enough to have a second chance. I'm definitely going to take those words to heart.

We were trailing by three points at the half and needed to play better. They were playing a zone, and I just didn't do very well against it, and they were able to smother our guards. In the second half, I moved a lot more and tried to be more aggressive. It worked out great.
