Guard Janka Gabrielova, one of the clutch players in the Wahine's postseason run, wrestled for the ball on Wednesday with Oklahoma State's Kara Faulk. What hasn't killed the Wahine has only made them stronger. And they are very much alive, deep into the most successful season in their history. You don't see the nerves on offense. Everybody wants the ball.
Nobody is afraid to get it and want to take a shot.
It's not supposed to be like that because you've got freshmen out there, and just a couple seniors. But they all feel comfortable with one another. I don't think any of them are afraid of failing because if they miss a shot, or fail in some way, they're still going to be supported by their teammates. I think that's the big key. Every Hawai'i player will tell you they feel no pressure now.
