Sarah Ashlee Barker Scores Career High 34 Points for Alabama

Transcript

00:00 So Sarah, Ashley, obviously you had a career-high 30 points. What does that

00:06 mean to get that on a special day like today for Pat Tillman Day? Yeah I think

00:11 it means everything just because of what she put into the game and so I think

00:15 just going out and playing as hard as I could and just you know competing every

00:19 single night because I know that Pat Summit was a great coach and she

00:22 demanded so much from her players and that you know that's what Kirstie does

00:25 with us. She demands so much from us and she just wants what's best for us and

00:29 so it just meant a lot that I could go out there and represent that and

00:32 represent toughness and so absolutely. You know doing the game plan that the

00:37 coaches have asked us to do. I think the last three games a lot of people want to

00:40 blame the coaches but I think that you as players you look back and as a leader

00:45 that those three games were nothing on the coach. Today we did what

00:48 they asked and we got a win so I think that proves a lot and I think it

00:51 just shows the team that we can be when we do the things that the coaches ask

00:55 us to do. We can be a great team when we go against it. We're not a

00:58 great team and so I'm gonna have coach Kirstie's back from you know the step

01:02 from when I got here until the end until when I'm done because I don't think a

01:06 lot of people realize how much she does for this program. I don't think a lot of

01:08 people realize how great of a coaching staff we truly have and those losses are

01:12 on us players and I know Kirstie is the first person to ever take the blame but

01:15 I just want everybody to know that she's done everything in her power to get us

01:19 to the point and to be able to win games and that's everything that we've done

01:22 the past three games has been on us and we know that and so I think putting 40

01:26 minutes today just proved that when we listen to the coaches game plan and we

01:30 do what they ask we got it we got it up today.
