I would have liked to have said that we would have found a way to win this game last year. But this year, we're finding a way to win them. The kids really battled tonight. |
It's the best league around, and it's going to be a dogfight every night. The fun really starts on Monday night. In my mind, we're in a position to challenge some of the big teams around. |
They have a good basketball team and they play with a ton of fire. We had to up our level of energy to match theirs. |
We had to learn how to win before we could go out and win. It's a maturation process that takes place in a team and a program, and we've told our kids that the only way to get respect is to earn it. |
You look at the way that Joe has that team playing and you know what his influence is. They fight and work and make you earn everything that you get. |
