USC Trojans Evaluate Momentum Swing In NCAA Tournament March Madness

Transcript

00:00I think that it just helped fuel everyone and give energy into everyone's games.

00:03We hit more shots that way, you feel like your teammates have you.

00:07So I think that all of those buzzer beaters and even every shot, every and

00:10one, all of that, those are energy plays for us.

00:13That the bench is hyped, the coaching staff's hyped,

00:15the atmosphere in the entire gym.

00:17Whoever hit the shot, whoever passed it, everyone honestly just feels that.

00:21And I think that it's a huge momentum swing for us.

00:23And we just kept that rolling tonight, so it was great.

00:26Down in the front here.

00:29Hi, Dominique Williams with Annenberg Media.

00:31This is a question for both athletes, but Avery,

00:33can you speak towards the freshman group?

00:35You guys have been the talk of the season, of just how you guys prevail and

00:39showed up in big moments like this.

00:40Can you speak towards that?

00:42Yeah, I mean, I think we have a really big freshman class,

00:45so it's been great to be super connected.

00:48We're really close.

00:49And I think that that's impacted our whole team.

00:52I think that we have a pretty big role this year,

00:53which coaches let us have.

00:55And we're prepared for most moments because of the time we're given in games

01:00and how hard we work in practice.

01:01But I think that everyone plays a super important role,

01:04and we really execute that.

01:06But I think that it's been a learning experience for everyone.

01:08But throughout this year, it's been great just being able to play alongside

01:12super great players, learning from them,

01:14and then just being able to execute on the floor.
