Brandon has made such great leaps forward. He has such tremendous value to the team and is a person of such high integrity. He just has such a great spirit. |
Doug Stewart is a very dangerous player. But we won't play scared of him. |
Duke really had a fantastic crowd and made it tough for us to get a win on the road. It was a great environment for college tennis and I am really proud of the way our guys competed tonight. |
He doesn't talk about it. He's a tough guy. You can see it in his speed and some of his movement. |
He's a main draw player there. He was in the main draw there last year and he'll be in the main draw there next year. |
I'm definitely going to defer on that one. |
I'm very proud of the resilience that we showed. It was a great response to the adversity. |
In doubles, they are getting better in their concentration. Four or five months ago, they wouldn't have been able to win 8-1. |
It was an extremely intense match and A&M played very well. Losing two matches doesn't change our goals as we go down the road. We'll get right back at it Thursday against a very good USC team. |
It's a bit of a disadvantage for us, which is good, because we need some obstacles to overcome. |
Maybe a wounded bear is the hungriest bear. We have to come out and act like we're the wounded bear - like we're hungry and like we want it. If we do that opening night, that will show. |
Right now, we saw what a loss of a player does for us, but some teams respond really well to that. |
That's how you fuel the dream and keep the dreams on fire. You show them that it's possible. |
They're very, very good, better than their rankings. I have a lot of respect for them and their program. But, our guys are going to be fired up and ready to go. |
This is a very fascinating part of the schedule. It will be interesting to see where we are at the end of that. |
