FSU head coach Brooke Wyckoff spoke to the media on Friday before the Seminoles' practice at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Here's how she opened her press conference.
"It's great to be here in Baton Rouge and part of another NCAA Tournament. Yes, we had a very successful season, but highlighted, as any season is, with some highs and lows," Wyckoff said.
"That's what I've said about this team all season is that they respond well, they really do, and they never quit, whether that's during a game or after a two-game losing streak, we respond. We're at this point, and we're ready to make a great run."
"We've got some very experienced vets on our team too, which you guys talked to, who know what it feels like to be in this position and are really just motivated to make a run."
