Key Highlights
- I was one of the only ones last year when we got upset (in the second round), so I think going into it, all the girls just wanted to recognize all the girls who didn’t get to go to the Sweet 16 last year and took it seriously.
- It was really special. ASU’s return to the Sweet 16 offers a sweeter follow-up to last season’s second-round exit after the Sun Devils earned a hosting bid for the first two rounds.
- As painful as it was for coach JJ Van Niel, he chose not to let last year cloud the current success.“I don’t reflect back,” Van Niel said.
- That’s negative, but it’s just moving forward.
- Every year is a new shot, but last year was very painful.
