(Laughing).ĭIAMOND BATTLES: It does mean a lot. So can you talk a little bit about does mean a little bit more that you're playing an in-state rival and do you think that the spotlight is shining a little bit more on women's basketball in the state this week with these games going on and what would it mean to beat Florida since I think you're 0-25 as a program against them.
You guys just traveled over a thousand miles to play Florida. It means a lot to me because last year I felt like it was unfinished business it was something that we could have had but it just didn't end up in our favor last year, but this year everything's working in our favor and I can't really speak on the tournament yet because we haven't played in the game but really excited ready to go out there, play together as a team and see what happens in the end. Everyone was locked in, everyone was focused, everyone wanted the same goals and we accomplished that. MASSENY KABA: For me personally it's been something great of the I wanted to come back to win a championship and that's something that our team did. Maybe more so for you Mass but Diamond this pertains to you, the way the last year finished and you and Tjia Sanders and obviously Diamond, but you more specifically because you had that additional year and wanting to come back and now seeing the fruits of your labor, how gratifying has this season been for you personally and then from a larger scale for this team as a whole? Now that you've had some time to maybe scout Florida a little bit what stands out to you about the Gators?ĭIAMOND BATTLES: They work hard, they're very good team, they play well, they're well coached, so we just have to like I said follow Coach Abe's game plan and trust in her like we've been trusting in her especially for me for the pass five years. MASSENY KABA: For me I would say being in the program for five years now she's always been a coach who builds her program wherever she's at and being that this is our fifth year that we won championships we have that mindset and that goal that we want to make it further pass the first round, so we just have to come in tomorrow locked in and follow her game plan and I'm pretty sure we'll see where results end up. So with Abe playing under Abe and under our coaching staff just getting better each year, so we hope to do that this year. So this will definitely be another goal checked off for us to make history by going to the second round. So a win in the NCAA will be huge this year. She's rebuilt UCF, so each year we've gotten better, more wins, getting closer and closer to a championship and we got that this year. Can you just talk about this program has grown so much over the time you've been here getting a better seed each and every year, so can you talk a little bit about the growth under Coach Abe and what it would mean to get a win in the NCAA tournament for the program?ĭIAMOND BATTLES: Over the years Abe has definitely grew this program.
