(St. Norbert) came out with great intensity today, so our hat's off to them. |
For four years here, we've been battling to gain respect. With 16 teams left in the tournament, everyone is good. |
I think that would mean we'd be both pretty far down the road. They're fun, why not? |
I was shocked. I thought they were kidding. When you look at the competition and the type of people out there, I don't consider myself in that class. To be a finalist, I was surprised. To win the award is unbelievable. |
I'll think about that after the season, but right now it's one and done. If we didn't play well this season, I guess I would have had no chance to break it. So it's a testament to my teammates as much as anything. |
It's just a testament to how level-headed he is. He didn't get upset because he was not starting. But when he got called on he played unbelievable. He takes pride in shutting the other team's best post player down. |
Just walking off the court there with a minute to go and everyone standing, it was awesome. Words can't express. |
People say basketball is not a contact sport, but I think you could tell tonight it is a contact sport. I enjoy playing against him. He's a heck of a competitor; a great athlete, a great player. He's definitely the heart and soul of their team. |
They're playing so well that we don't think of them as freshmen or sophomores. They're not scared at all. Maybe it's from playing in big games, but they come into big games and shoot the ball. |
We used it as motivation. We just said it was the same rims, the same gym. It was odd at first when we came out. Once the ball is tipped, it's the same court. |
