What an incredible night. Thanks to you all for being here. I mean, look around the room.
00:04
It was just a few years ago that people said women's basketball in L.A.
00:08
can't be big, can't be
00:12
covered, can't be sold out. And I think we just, you guys, us
00:16
together, all keep proving that wrong. So, appreciate that.
00:20
Magical night. Really, really incredibly proud of our team.
00:24
I said to anyone who asked me prior that
00:28
UCLA is legit good as people think they are. I wasn't watching film saying
00:32
hey, you know, they're not as good as people think. I said they're really good and we
00:36
have to be better than them to win the game, to earn it. And I thought
00:40
our players did everything in their power to do that. I thought it was
00:44
an incredible team win. But obviously, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about
00:48
these two young women sitting here. No one in our locker room is surprised at the
00:52
performance that Clarice put on. My husband just sent me something, like a
00:56
post that someone said, Clarice Akinwafo will be remembered.
01:00
It was just an unbelievable, you know, Galen moment.
01:04
She was phenomenal. But we all just know what she's capable of and
01:08
plays her role as well as anyone I've coached.
01:12
And I know you're going to ask me a million questions. I didn't teach
01:16
Juju any of that. Just try to put her in situations
01:20
to be her best self. And she does most of that work.
01:24
And what I was so impressed with tonight, obviously, was just the mentality she came out
01:28
with. Obviously, the ball going through the net helps. But when we changed
01:32
our coverages in the second half and said, we can't just go one-on-one with bets. We have
01:36
to double. The double's got to be good. She ends up with eight blocks as well.
01:40
I thought our team stepped up.
