One teammate can change everything. The tone, the standard, the energy, the belief. Be the ONE.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tied the record for the most consecutive 20-point games in NBA history tonight. I asked him what the word “consistent” means to him: “It’s doing what you’re supposed to do when you don’t want to do it. It’s as simple as that. It’s easy to work hard when things are going your way. It’s easy to get in the gym when the ball is going in the net. It’s easy to face the challenges when you win the challenges. It’s when you lose challenges and you have to keep getting up and do the same thing. Sometimes you continue to lose. But fighting through that and getting on the other side of it, that’s consistency. I’ve built that muscle.”

“Doing something exceptionally well and doing it every day that you have to do it is way, way, way more difficult than people think."

One of the greatest seasons in Carroll history. Natalie Gricius caps it by setting the program’s single-season scoring record with 639 points. Congratulations to Natalie on this accomplishment, and an incredible career. #GoPios #D3Hoops #CCIW

The journey ends, but the impact remains. Congratulations to our Pioneers on a historic, record-breaking season and an incredible NCAA Tournament run. #GoPios
