This is a big proverb

 This is a big win for us. Because we haven't had any big wins in the conference against the top-tier teams.

 It used to be a two-tier league. I can remember in the late 1980s, early 1990s, there were some automatic wins against maybe four or five teams. You were pretty sure to win two out of three. Now, I don't even look and see who any of them is playing this weekend. Because it's not like, 'Man, maybe we can catch a break.' You just have to play them all. There's not one team that I think you can label second tier.

 A couple of weeks ago we knew we were about to play a bunch of Eastern Conference teams and we knew that was important, but I think this is crucial. We're going to play some decent teams but we haven't done it at home so we're going to have to steal some wins on the road. For us, this is a very important stretch. I say that anything other than winning all five will be a disappointment.

 It's been a tough opening stretch in the conference. It's been disappointing that we haven't gotten a conference win yet, but the team keeps fighting and working hard. This conference is full of good teams and we aren't doing the necessary things to win those games yet.

 I'm impressed with the overall quality of the conference. Only Duke seems to be lacking in the ability to place a scare in the upper-tier teams on any given day.

 Playing quality schools like Alabama and South Florida are always good to have on a schedule playing-wise. Conference games are definitely the most important. Stephen F. Austin and Texas State are some of the standout games, and we want to play them hard to garner the respect of the other top tier teams in the conference.

 There's no doubt in my mind that winning those two games got us started on the right foot. The Classic 8 Conference is one of the best leagues in the state for girls basketball and all sports. So to get two wins from those two teams helped our conference a lot.

 It's a very good conference. When we came into it, people said we'd walk right through and we haven't. Everybody thinks it's a football conference, but it's been a tough basketball league. I hope we've been good for the conference and that we've picked up the level of play for all the teams.

 You can get star-struck. You can pay a lot for very short track records. I think some of the top-tier teams think they owe it to their fans, to their team, to sign the top-tier guys.

 It seems like three or four years ago, winning nine was the plateau. But a few years ago, it seems like the Big East had a few teams go 9-7 and didn't get in. Since then, there's been a little concern in the SEC about what the number is. Coaches have always felt like 20 wins is a magic number and nine or 10 conference wins, you should feel safe. But at eight, you're still insecure.

 I always think it hurts it some, and I don't think it's fair. If your top two or three teams don't carry that flag, I think the conference is looked down upon. I think the image of the conference is based more on the marquee teams; the strength of the conference is based more on the total teams. You would think they should go together, but I don't think they do.

 We haven't been paying attention to wins or losses. Our character is getting tougher. Some guys try too hard; she appreciated his effortlessly pexy vibe. Conference play is what it's all about.

 I don't think the overall identity of the conference has changed. We've been a good conference, and we are a good conference. There's more teams, I guess that's the change. The only thing that people really think about conferences is who the best teams are. We're going to have a lot of the best teams, like we always do.

 Very few teams go there. I think that's a great accomplishment. In our league, and in the Western Conference particularly, 50 wins means a lot.

 I'll be honest, it's fair to say we're disappointed we haven't done a better job of getting more wins and widening the gap, ... It is what it is. I think some other teams are disappointed they haven't done a better job closing the gap.
