You know the expectations.

That's one of the reasons why I went to Tennessee, because I didn't want to go somewhere where it was going to be easy.

You knew that you were going to have to come in and battle every day, that you stepped out on the floor.

You were going to have to compete against another All-American.

You just have all these great players that you're surrounded by, and no one is trying to undercut each other.

We're just trying to keep the tradition going

And do our jobs.

I think part of it is no matter what, you just have to be consistent in your routine.

For me, if we had a back to back game, if we were playing L.A., then we had to get on a red eye and fly to Connecticut and play them the next day.

You better believe I'm going to have a masseuse ready.

Like I'm going to do stuff to get my body ready for the game.

But you got to stay consistent with that, whether you're winning or losing, because it's all about performing and you want to be able to go out every day and give it your best.

Well, definitely.

I mean, I think that's on any team, but that's where you educate.

Somebody's not playing, fix it.

I mean, fix it.

Figure out a way to get on the floor, you know.

So you try to educate players on being a professional.

You still have a job to do.

You still have to stay ready.
