>> Lastly from Stony Brook, we have a highlight, hard hat recipient presented by Bank of America.

Why did Journey Thompson earn that honor?

>> She has been doing the little things, setting the screens, rolling, not expected to get the ball but getting it, catching it and finishing it.

Running the floor like a deer.

Talking on the bench, encouraging the younger host players on what we do and how we do it here.

I just think seeing a young lady who came here last year who was so over it, if you will, coming to the east coast was just getting her closer to home.

I got that.

I understood that.

To now loving it.

Loving her teammates.

Laughing, I'm almost like sometimes having to say hey, journey, quiet down.

I'm trying to talk.

I couldn't get her to say a word last year.

So the game is amazing, what it teaches you.

It teaches you how to win with grace.

How to not have a mini score as an opponent but to have learned enough where winning still continues to happen.

And you see young people emerge into the people they're going to become and journey, has been exemplifying that for the last month and a half.

And for her to get a hard hat to do those little things in a game situation, it was like poetic justice.

Delicious game?

Let's take the next question.

First she just liked it more than any of y'all.

She knew it was going to be a 400 victory.

She said I'm gon' show how much I love her!

I'm gon' get that hard hat!

[ Cheering ] You played 15 minutes and went four for five, seven rebounds eight points.

... [ Cheering ] >> Speech, speech, speech, speech.

>> I'm not really a speaker, but I don't know.

I thought it was good.

I know we hit some adversity but like coach said it was a good opportunity for us to work through it so we did a good job.

Let's go!

>> Brought some life back... >> Yeah, for sure.

I think for us, it doesn't have to be like a single person.

When we start playing off each other and like scoring, we all come to like, no matter who it is...
