I though Will did a great job but the two of them is what has made our offense go because they both play off each other. One guy steps outside while one works [down low] and when that one gets worn down, he can step out and let the other guy go inside. |
I thought about it right before the game, but once the game started it was out of my mind. I was just trying to win. That's what we want to do (win conference), but it's not the No. 1 thing on our minds. Tournament time is what we're getting ready for. |
I thought Blanton did another great job. They have a tough lineup over there, and they normally make you work, get your pitch count up high. But (Blanton?s) command was great. He used all his pitches and made them swing by getting ahead (in the count). |
I thought I had the world in my hand when I got called up. I needed that. I needed to be put in my place, and it was a good learning experience. Now, I know how to cope with failure. I know how to make the adjustments I need to be successful this year. |
I thought in several areas we got better today from the standpoint of players that don't play a lot of minutes got a lot of minutes and different combinations with some starters getting to rest and there not being a drop off. All of that is good stuff. |
I thought it was done, but we let them back in. It's too bad it took five (goals) to get it done. ... I don't know about me. It's just a great time of the year. Everybody is pulling for each other, and everybody is working together to get the job done. |

I thought our preparation was great. Our guys were really tuned in and focused in getting ready to do what they had to do defensively. I think that really showed in the first half, but at the same time we weren't making all the shots that we needed to. |
I thought that hurt us. But it wasn't why we lost by any means. You can point to several plays just like that throughout the course of the game. Like I said, our execution was very poor tonight and that's something we're going to have to get corrected. |
I thought they wanted to sue me and were ordering the shirts to have them as evidence. I thought of not sending them, at first, but then I realized it was my slogan and I was standing by it, so I sent them. Besides, the logo is not completely the same. |
I thought we had that game won. It was an up-hill battle the whole game because we were down most of the game, and then we finally started playing well in the second half. I think we have a lot of work to do if we?re going to compete in (today?s) game. |
I thought we played fairly well in the first half. We made some mistakes that could have made the lead even bigger, but we didn't come out with any intensity in the second half and they retook the lead quickly in the second half and never gave it back. |
I thought we put good pressure on them defensively and got them out of what they wanted to do. Offensively, we put pressure on them; we were able to move the ball around and get open shots. We were able to do that early, and it gave us some confidence. |
I thought we won the game because of great ball movement. That's how you play at the end of a game. If they trap you, swing it, and the ball kept moving until it found the open guy. You could see our guys at the end were getting into the ball movement. |
I told my guys coming into the game that it's a rivalry game and don't take anything for granted. (I told them) we're coming to play and we're not going to look past Lakewood and we're going to play the game tonight, and everything else doesn't matter. |
