Q. How were you able to prepare for this time around preparing for the national championship? And also what did you learn about your team this year coming into this season and how you guys were able to grow and get to this point?
COACH SMART: We learned a lot about our team. It’s one of those things I think every year you do. The journey is what we do this for.
You think about this time last year, who we were and who we are now, it couldn’t be further from the same team, just very different mental makeup, physical makeup, very different path to get here.
