>> Coach, you are the 7th seed in the Adirondack tournament and then we expect and hope you will be in the NCAA tournament as well.

This team has been consistently in the field for months now.

What are some of the lessons you've learned from post seasons past?

>> You know, we have to figure out how to have success in ACC.

We haven't had that success.

As far as winning the game.

So our goal is to see if we can master four quarters and have success at the end.

That is a goal of mine.

That's the goal of our team and I don't even know who we will play because two great teams are going play against each other first in cal and wake forest and we will watch for the winner of that particular game.

We have to show up and jump ball.

I don't know-- all I want to do is extend more time with them.

That's what winning does.

It creates opportunities for us to have another week or another day or another hour and keep this group together because it's going to change after that last game, right?

And I don't want to see the end of this.

>> The time that we are recording this, we are getting ready to leave to the ACC tournament in Duluth, Georgia.

By the time the episode airs, we hope the orange will still be playing in that tournament.

>> That's the goal.

>> You brought in a couple of great players that also had great postseason experience.

I know that is something that mattered to you.

>> Yes.

>> Dom coming over from UCLA.

>> Laila from Michigan and Texas.

How important is it for them to have been around it and what does that feel like.

>> I have been wishing them well, encouraging them to continue on and saddened by people that lost their opportunities and one thing that I have talked with some of my colleagues about was, you know,some players are really good, but if they haven't been there before, they don't know what it looks like.

That was very conscientious about bringing somebody in that played at that level that can kind of regroup back to this is what we did when we were at this stage, you know, getting to the tournament.

Celebrate the name coming up, the first game, the second weekend and also the third weekend, which is the final four weekend.

And so that's what those two present for us.

And Sophie actually has the experience from us two years ago.

And so our captains were weirdly picked by the players that all had that kind of experience, right?

And we are going to lean on that and we are going to grow with that and we are going to become because of that.

>> After ACC tournament play wraps up, we are expecting this team to go dancing.

I know selection Sunday has not happened yet and you don't want to jinx it but we are looking forward to watching the orange play into march madness.

How excited are you for the opportunity to get your team back into the big dance?

>> I think we did the work.

We have proven that we are one of the 64 teams, not 68, one of the 64 teams that belong at that level and we are going to finish off in the ACC tournament and give the best effort we can.

But I think that the committee is going to see that what we've done and our last 22 games have really proven that we belong in that realm of conversation.

So we are cautiously optimistic.

We are excited and it's great that we have Dom and Laila and Sophie to lead us to that next level because they've had that experience.

And hopefully we will get some honest feedback about seeding and where we are going to go and hopefully they will extend us an opportunity to be somewhere else outside of where we have been for the last five times.

I was at NTAA wherever that might have been.

>> This team currently projected as a ninth seed but with a big week ahead, who knows.

Maybe some things can change.

>> Let's go.
