Q. Just want to check in with you. Being that you missed your last season with an injury, how much more comfortable have you felt throughout the course of the season and what areas do you feel like you've improved the most the last couple months?

JORDYN JENKINS: Coming off an injury was pretty tough, I mean, especially jumping into Pac-12 play. It's super fast paced. Every game is fast paced. I think personally I've just gotten better at, I guess, just running and keeping up.

I think I've also gotten better just being more active in the post. I think that's important, especially as it's my position. So yeah.

Q. What was the difference in today's ball game for your ballclub?

JORDYN JENKINS: I think we just got the ball moving and we just played well together. Once we get the passes going and running in transition, we're a deadly team. I think we have good guards enough to push it up and we have people who can finish and make threes.

Yeah, I think once getting it in transition and we're going we're a super successful team.

Q. The bench was loud and ecstatic today. Can you talk about how that helped the team?

JORDYN JENKINS: Yeah, I want to shout out Zayla Tinner. She's been our biggest supporter, loudest cheerer, and she's also a freshman here. She's hurt, but I think mainly that's what got us going. The rest of them obviously were cheering and doing great. We just have great energy. It comes from the bench. When we know that the bench is supporting us, then we feel like we can do anything.
