We think that it is going to be a good semester. Some followers of the program have told me that from top to bottom this is the most talented team that we have ever had. |
We want to win the conference championship. Our focus is on this weekend; we are not thinking about the conference tournament. |
We were happy to get a split for the weekend. Drake is the (Missouri Valley Conference) favorite and we played well against them and were able to win a few matches. |
We were three players down, and it was our third game in three days. We didn't have the depth to compete with them. Of our eight eligible players, four were freshmen and one was a sophomore. It was a difficult game - but we should have competed better. We just couldn't match their size or quickness, and that was the game. |
We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win. |
We're going to Tulsa to win it all. That's the goal that this team set in January and we're committed to seeing it through. |
We've had an excellent week of practice. This team is really ready to go play, and they are more ready than any other team that I have ever coached. Our team's main goal is to win conference. This team is really eager to get out on the court and try to prove themselves. |
Wright State (0-4) is a tough team to tell anything on by their record. They have played outstanding competition thus far, including two matches with ranked foes (Michigan State and Ball State universities). They should be ready for a competitive match. |
