Transcript

00:00It's a really big win on the road for our program, I'm proud of us.

00:03Alright we'll start right here, please.

00:05Hi, my name is Ewan, I'm JLS, got seven years.

00:07Juju, your team just handed UMD it's first loss of the season,

00:11so what did it take for you guys to come over to the East Coast and get a job?

00:15Yeah, it's been a really long trip for us coming off of Rutgers,

00:18so we've been on the East Coast now for like four days, it's freezing.

00:22So yeah, it took a lot of mental and emotional

00:27and physical, what's the word, like durability, I guess.

00:33So yeah, it's been a long couple of days

00:36and I think we knew Maryland is such a great team,

00:39they're not undefeated for no reason.

00:40So we came in here and gave it our all, it was a tough win and we batted it out.

00:49Hey y'all, Juju real quick, can you take us through that final stretch?

00:54You guys were down 68-70 I do believe, you hit that elbow jumper,

00:59then you go to the line and you guys kind of close out on an 11-2 run.

01:03You guys have been in these big games plenty,

01:06but how were you guys kind of able to close it out

01:09and come together when you really needed to?

01:11Yeah, I think we just kind of have this unwavering confidence in ourselves.

01:16A lot of it comes from the games we've already been through

01:20and the tough moments in those big games.

01:23So I think that we had a lot of confidence in ourselves

01:26and what we work on every day

01:28and it was just a matter of coming together and closing the game out.
