We do not have it out there as a distant dream. This could actually be reality.

Alex has really grown into the position. She has a great sense of who to get the ball to and when. It's been huge that Alex is able to score out of that spot. Defenders can't lay off Alex, and that's given Cara some breathing room.

I believe her personality and her presence, her strength as a player, is being able to settle everyone down. She is definitely a calming effect for all of us.

I just take it as it is. I don't let it frustrate me. I just try to work around it. With our kids, our theme is, there's certain things in life you can't control, so let's just make the best out of them. And that's kind of where I'm at right now. The academy has been around a lot longer than I have. I respect it and respect what they're all about, and I try to roll with everything that's thrown at us.

I think Alex definitely deserved this award. She has been fantastic all season and played a big role in our success.

If there is anybody I want at the line at the end of the game it's Alex.

I'm so proud and impressed and really happy for how his career has played out. That has a lot to do with how he carries himself and how he deals with people. It's not just this year, obviously this year is great, but I'm just so proud of his whole career.

I just want to start by saying that I've never been so proud of a group of young women as I was in the last four months. They have been through so much and really just kept fighting back. I'm so honored and proud to have the opportunity to coach these young women, and I'm looking forward to the future of Army basketball.

I'm 28 years old. I'm going to go here and I could lose every game and get fired in four years. But I'll be 32 and I'll still have a lot in front of me and I'll be a smarter person for it. That's kind of how I looked at it. Worst-case scenario, what could happen is I could fail, but I still felt like I'd come out on top.

I'm getting goose bumps right now talking about it.
