Senior night was March 2 against St. John's. It was a great experience, but watching it last year, I didn't think it would be this emotional for me. It wasn't my last game with Pitt, but it was my last in the Petersen Events Center and it was hard. I have been so honored to be a part of this program and help it to rebuild. When I came here, I didn't think I was capable of having an impact like this. I will miss this city and my teammates, but I will be back to visit!
I know as a senior, I don't want to leave on a bad note. It is time to focus on the Big East Tournament and NCAAs and to play like we know we can. It is time to handle our business. Everyone always asks us if we feel pressure to get back to the Sweet 16, or to make it further this year. I know it sounds funny, but we don't feel any pressure at all. We just expect that kind of success now. It isn't pressure, but we believe in ourselves to get back there and I think that is what has made us successful -- our belief in ourselves and our teammates.
Before we even think about that though, we have the Big East Tournament, which is such a great event. We are excited to be in third because we were picked fifth in the preseason. We have a two-game bye so we have no idea who we are going to play, but, like I said earlier, it is March and it is a business trip so we have to be ready no matter who we play.
