per RandBall:
"I mean, the biggest thing I've realized throughout the years of being here is if you do focus on the external and look outside of what you need to focus on, it brings a lot of stress and pressure onto yourself that you can't control," Mafe said. "So the biggest thing we talk about are the controllables and uncontrollables. The things you can't control you don't really focus on. Regardless of you focusing and worrying or thinking about those all the time, you can't change anything about it. The things you can control and can worry about like our game Saturday, those are the things you can control and take precautions and go through your process of preparing for those types of games — those are the things you focus on."
