We're not satisfied at all. We came here to win. We're not just satisfied at getting to the Sweet 16 or being in the tournament. We're here to win.
Roy Hibbert
It's premature to talk about the league tournament. We'll adjust our goals if we keep having a better-than-average season. To finish in the top four is a pretty hearty goal.
Mike Dutton
She was injured, but she fought till the last point, ... It was a really tight match. And I think it's a really big win for me because I get the opportunity to be in the quarterfinals of this big tournament.
Gisela Dulko
We used some kids tonight that we haven't used all year. The good thing about a tournament like this is that everyone can get a chance to play.
Mark Larsen
It's been our motto all year to make it to the NCAA Tournament. That's what we're working on every day.
Amanda Brown
We said after the tournament was over the second season starts. We're totally focused on our district now. There's going to be a lot of parity and plenty of close game in our district this season.
Katie Brunelle
Hosting such a big national tournament really puts ASU on the map for women's lacrosse. It's also good for the club sports program.
Kerrilynn Gallagher
I had inflammation of tendonitis and felt it three days ago so I couldn't practice before the tournament.
Daniela Hantuchova
That is too long for a club of our stature. We need to put that right as soon as possible. We want to be top of the tree in Europe. This is a massive tournament. The be all and end all in club rugby. It's vital we do well.
Andy Goode
Overall this was a good tournament for us. The kids did a nice job of responding after losing to Badger. We have the big part of our schedule coming up and the key for us is to concentrate and play a full 36 minutes each night.
John Schumacher
After 20 years, it's emotional. Andre and the tournament are so interconnected. He helped keep the sport going when we had kind of peaks and valleys. When Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe left, up popped Andre and Pete Sampras.
Butch Buchholz
I don't accept that, the Canadian public wouldn't accept that and Hockey Canada won't accept that. We're Canada. Our standard is gold and every tournament we go into, we go into with the intention of competing for a gold medal.
Blair Mackasey
This is a tough tournament. Everyone out here was pretty good and the top six seeds all could play good, hard basketball, so we knew it was going to be tough to get out.
Mickey Blatnik
We emphasize that to be a good team, you have to have good senior leadership to go far in the conference and in the tournament. We've had that so far and that will likely be important for us in the next few weeks for us to be successful.
Brent Cahill
A loss to anybody would really set us off track of winning the Big East and being the No. 1 seed in the Big East Tournament.
Denham Brown
From the start of this season we set out to continue to get better scores and continue to get better overall. Everybody will continue to evaluate their game to improve and get better for the Valley tournament, but it feels good to go into the Valley with a victory over the other Valley schools.
Pina Gentile
The tie break was the turning point of the match. When I won it I felt that I finally had this tournament.
Luis Horna
The one thing I don't have to worry about with Nick and Brian is their off-season tournament schedule. They'll travel to Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Kansas City -- wherever they can go to play the best competition. Their work ethic is second to none and they are great role models for the rest of the team.
Andy Brunner
I'd rather be known as the guy that won a tournament than the guy that played with Annika. It doesn't bother me, but I guess I have to do something. I have to win.
Dean Wilson
I told them it's a new season. We didn't win this tournament, but our goal right now is to take the next tournament.
Paul Croft
There's a lot of work which goes into running the tournament. The tournament runs for 21 consecutive days without a break. A total of 78 games are played. The kids love competing in this tournament.
John Mares
I did mention to Kevin before the game that his state tournament career started with Desert knocking us out in the quarters. He didn't want it to end that way.
Bob Fredericks
We feel we didn't accomplish anything yet. We made some noise, but now we want to go in there and really make our mark. We believe we can win this tournament.
Kojo Mensah
He was simply too good. I didn't play my best match of the tournament. I still think the way I played today, I could've beaten a lot of guys in this tournament. But he was just too good.
Robin Soderling
When you get beat like that in the first set you know you have to give it everything you have to stay in the tournament.
Flavia Pennetta
Other countries don't see us as a world contender. But back home, every tournament we play we're supposed to win. After the last Olympics and what happened against Belarus, you could feel in the locker room before the Switzerland game that if we lost we couldn't fly home this summer.
Henrik Sedin
I think if you were a gambler and you had a million dollars, you should have gone to Las Vegas and bet a million dollars that Tennessee and Rutgers would meet in the NCAA tournament.
C. Vivian Stringer
Denny Linton wrestled a great tournament and was selected as the outstanding wrestler by the coaches.
Ariah Fasana
It wasn't for team-wise, but individual-wise going into the district tournament it was big. Because Curtis and James will probably be fighting for the district championship, so it was a big match in that sense.
Danny O'quinn
It was an incredible win for us tonight. We beat a very good Salem team that will be going to the state tournament.
Chris Mastrangelo
I knew he had the ability to be a state champion. It was a switch turned on in him just before the state tournament and he just went for it.
Ryland Wagner
It's about time. I'm kind of numb. I'm just happy for the kids. We had five champions, and the seniors got to go out the way they wanted to. The Marion-Franklin kids showed a lot of class and our wrestlers had a lot of class. Right now we just want to get the kids ready for the state tournament.
Brian Nicola
As much disdain I had for that game, I told my staff that the only way it's ever going to be useful is if we get to the state tournament and play Christian Brothers Academy. They are two very similar teams.
Bob Cimmino
To go 3-1 in this tournament, we're happy with that. It's a tough tournament every year, and only one team gets to go 4-0 in this tournament.
Derrick Gibson
We're playing on a nice course for the America East Tournament. We have that to look forward to.
Gary Skrinar
If you're going to the tournament, you might as well play the best.
Chuck Curtis
Having a champion at 171 pounds, sooner or later you're going to have to make him an Athlete of the Week or something. We'd like to see him get a little further in the tournament.
Dave Mcdowell
I kind of knew it from the beginning. When we beat Blue Ridge in the first game of the Gene Lee Tournament, I knew this was going to be our year.
Kelly Ellis
There were about 12 people in the stands the last time these two played. It was at an (Albuquerque) Academy tournament in 2003. There was never a rivalry between us. But this is going to be a lot of fun.
Damian Segura
This was huge win for us. I feel like any time a team can get to .500 in a conference as good as the Big East, then they should receive an NCAA Tournament bid. The worst we can finish is .500. In the preseason, people thought we wouldn't even make the conference tournament.
Agnus Berenato
You have to apply to wrestle there. If accepted into the tournament, you expect to see the toughest wrestlers in the country. With teams like Iowa, Iowa State, Illinois and Central Michigan, the competition is stiff.
Derek Delporto
This was a big win for us tonight. It puts us in the fourth seed position in the conference tournament. We can't celebrate too much, though. We've got to play Brevard again in the conference tournament on Monday.
Bruce Gilliam
I kind of feel at home in Texas. I've had a solid year. To win another tournament would be great and to win another one would be fantastic.
Mark Mcnulty
It's just feeling good. Pretty solid today, consistent match. Really a good way to get into this tournament.
Amelie Mauresmo
It wasn't my best match, but the first match of the state tournament you've got to make mistakes because of nerves. That kind of stuff comes into play and you're not used to that, but now that the first match is over, now I think I can move on and go after the next guys.
Adam Martensen
That happens a lot. The tournament can be an important stage. But what you've done before, what you do afterwards, all those things need to come into play, too.
Bryan Blake
She's a tough little girl. She was back at school (Friday) and she told me she wants to play. Although she's not going to play in our first game of the tournament, we promised her we'd win our first game for her so she can pitch later in the tournament.
Paula Wheeler
I feel confident we're going to make it into the [NCAA] tournament. I see they're talking about teams that have big wins against two teams.
Jamar Nutter
You know in the tournament that a lot of offenses come out a little tight. We're a fourth seed, so there isn't a lot expected of us. We played great defense today.
Paul Jeppesen
The great thing about our team in this tournament is we are connecting with the bats. Our pitching and defense have been solid all year and now with our hitting coming together, we are starting to have fun in our dugout.
Ron Fussell
I have a lot of tournament experience, but I'm always nervous on the first tee. I settled down quickly. Nerves disappear when you're hitting the ball that well. I'm hitting every club perfectly and I just have to concentrate on my short game. I'm ready. I want to go.
Ross Thompson
This means a lot. This is my last go-around. I don't want to go out a loser. I want to go to the NCAA tournament. We could be the first UW team to go three times in a row since I don't know when. So this is all stuff I want to be part of.
Brandon Roy
I think last year in this tournament I learned more than I did in three years on tour.
Lorena Ochoa
This tournament was an eye opener for our group. Two of our athletes placed in the top six, but all of our athletes got to see first hand what that next level in wrestling looks like.
Jason Kerluck
This is going to be the last time I play in this tournament. I want to do my best.
Patrick Coleman
It's great to have the potential to make the state tournament. But the goal is to win state.
David Rogers
The six seed is fine with me. Any seed would have been fine with me. Just to be in the NCAA Tournament with this coaching staff and the four other seniors and myself, that's where I want to be.
Patrick Beilein
We've seen a lot of surprises. We had a group call today and say we're going to do a whole emergency golf tournament for hurricane relief and we want it to go to food. Boy, that hardly ever comes in a year and we got it in the second day.
Michael Guerra
This was a big step for us. I think about where we were last year, we didn't even make the WIAC tournament. I'd say this year was pretty good but it's definitely something to build on.
Joe Werner
It'll be a great tournament.
Richard Willis
I think we have a chance after this tournament, I hope, that we'll continue to make some progression and get better for the stretch here at the end of the season. I think these kids can do that.
Scott Oltmann
We played in that tournament two years ago. A lot of good Big Ten teams in that event. It will be a good early season test.
Jim Poling
It's not a lot more work than during the season, but you're doing it year-round. Now when I go to a tournament, I look at the guy I'm going against as just another wrestler.
Alex Mckinney
It's really not bad for a big tournament. We lost two games by a total of five points. Every one of our district games are going to be close like that.
Lynn Meger
It's a great honor. This is a tournament I have always played well at, and probably my best Grand Slam. So it's a great honor, and I'm looking forward to it.
Ivan Lendl
Ryan came through. He wrestled an exceptional tournament.
Jerry Mcswords
I don't think anybody else experienced the type of competition we had in the Big East tournament and in the Big East period. I think we'll be better prepared for the tournament than anybody else out there.
Carl Krauser
Harrison is tough. He never stops. He's relentless on his feet. Steve battled him but Harrison is bigger and stronger. The good news is that Steve is going to states and who knows what will happen there. He had a great tournament. He beat some good kids along the way and he's just getting be and better.
Steve Kurzinger
I would have felt better if our girls had scored more runs after the third inning, but it turns out they didn't need to. This will help us enter the district tournament next week on the upbeat. I really wasn't sure it would go our way, but I am glad it did.
Mike Clamon
We can't say we haven't gotten any respect. They've given us a lot of respect. We haven't really played well going down the stretch, and to get a No. 2 seed going into the NCAA Tournament, what a feeling.
Stanley Asumnu
Good teams like to play other good teams. When I started to ask people about this (tournament) at the provincials last year, people were signing up then.
Blair Shier
Overall, it's a good way to start the tournament. It was a good start and a really good first half. In the second half, we let down defensively, giving up too many points and fouling way too much.
Jeff Brenning
There was a strong sentiment to do this, and in the end, we determined that it might as well occur sooner than later, particularly now that Arnold has consciously reduced his competitive playing schedule. Arnold has been the face of the tournament for a number of years, and it makes sense that it bears his name to honor his countless contributions to the tournament and to the PGA Tour.
Tim Finchem
This team hasn't won anything. We didn't win our section. We didn't win our Christmas tournament. We haven't played good basketball for a month.
Jeff Ackermann
There are a ton of big fish in Lake Murray and the lake has been overlooked a bit the past few years. It has the biggest fish on the tour, I think. I look for somebody to catch a 10-pounder in this tournament.
Anthony Gagliardi
It was just about who was going to stop who, and who was going to answer who. I think that we're the best two teams in the region. It's just bad that we both won't get to go to the state tournament.
Darnell Dozier
The most unexpected moment about the visit was when we saw that Albert was wearing his championship ring from the 1933 National Amateur Tournament. Halls of Fame treasure moments like this.
Jack Huckel
Germany was the best team we played in this tournament. We played Germany, we played the Americans, we played Sweden. Overall, I feel Germany is more dominant. ... I'm saying Germany is the best team that I have ever played against.
Charmaine Hooper
We will be missing five players on Saturday. We hope to get Julia Borowski back for the tournament this weekend. She missed most of the action to this point with a sprained ankle. ... She has the ability to make a difference in a big game.
Al Keckeisen
After an 8-8 start, it's a big accomplishment. It's all about these kids. Come tournament time, they really stepped it up.
Steve Tompkins
This is the most parity we have had at the parish tournament in several years.
Charles Vidrine
The nice thing about this entire season is that the kids have just paid attention to their own business and not worry about all the other stuff that's going on. A lot of people thought we didn't deserve the No. 1 seed, but the kids proved the doubters wrong. The kids reached down and took the next step. And now we're playing in the state tournament.
Chris Duncan
There are little incentives when you bowl in a league, like side pots, high game pots and 30 Clean pots, so I have the motivation to bowl better. Whether I'm bowling in league or a big tournament, I try to have fun. Any time I go do that, I go in and try to incorporate practice into my game. I work on being consistent and making spares.
Liz Johnson
The season is not over. We still have eight games. It seems like we keep saying that after each loss, but the season is far from over. Just because we lost three games in a row, we still have time. We have eight games left, and we still have the (A-10) tournament. Three losses don't ruin a whole season.
Dedrick Finn
It was great to be back at the Eastern Area tournament. I was very pleased with our performance. We had all but three kids place among the top six.
Vince Testa
Before we started this tournament, Coach P (Patterson), the staff and the players got together and set a goal to win this thing. Well, mission accomplished.
Twiggy Mcintyre
We try to come out in the second half like it's the beginning of the game. It's tournament time and 20 points means nothing in the tournament. You've just got to go out there and make sure you put the lid on it.
Paulla Solar
Our diamond racket will stay in Belgium for at least another year. Obviously we were looking forward to have Venus once again in our tournament. She has been a key player in the promotion of our event and is incredibly popular in Belgium. But as with other top players, injuries have been putting her back. Fortunately we still have an incredible field with 6 top 10 players.
Bob Verbeeck
My first goal was to make the cut, I just wanted to prepare as normal for a tournament and just forget who was in the field and thankfully I did. I just tried to block out everything that was going around and tried to play my own game and it worked.
Danny Denison
After On the Water, I thought I was getting pretty close to being back to where I was. Then, at the conference tournament, that gave me all the confidence I needed.
Zach Bennett
We have 16 players who are the No. 1 player in their country. The cutoff to get into (the tournament) was No. 68 (in the ATP rankings). No tournament outside of a Grand Slam has that kind of quality and depth.
Steve Bellamy
This is my fifth time going to the tournament. I've placed fifth, fourth and third in the past, but I expect to win this time.
Randi Miller
They gave Odessa all they wanted in the first round. They've had a day of rest because they played (Wednesday). That's the way it happens in the national tournament.
Louis Whorton
I've had some great standouts the past few years, but this team is just real balanced. This is the strongest team we've had going into the (state) tournament the last three years.
Scott Timmer
I told the girls that I've already requested time off for the post-season tournament, and we feel that is an attainable goal. It's a big item for us this year.
Bob Denbrock
That really was the tournament. On 14, I was trying to lag my putt and it went in the hole. Making two birdies in a row right there was the turning point.
Paul Stankowski
Nobody talks about the NCAA Tournament, not the players or coaches. Only you guys.
Richard Midgley
That's the way it should be. We're the best two teams in the tournament. It should come down to us.
John Milliken
The last few years we had good regular seasons and stumbled in the state tournament. This year, our backs have been against the wall and we haven't quit. We have a lot of girls on this team that just will not let us lose.
Frank Lombardo
This is a great feeling to win your own tournament. We put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears to put this thing on.
Dave Manzo
It's a great tournament. It's well-planned and a lot of work went into making sure it's done right. We're just proud to be a part of it.
Jim Barton
We have the numbers from the past. For many years, the Class A tournament was up in the 17,000 to 19,000 range, but in the last couple of years it's been down in the 12,000 to 13,000 range. When this year's tournament is over, we'll have those numbers to compare and we'll get a feel for it, but we'll certainly need two or three years before we'll have a more concrete comparison.
Dick Durost
I was real impressed with the committee. They understand the economics of that tournament and that all our communities need to share in these things.
Gary Degooyer
We're starting to wrestle up to our potential. There were some tough teams, and it showed us where we need to get to by (the state tournament).
Rand Baker
We've been talking about it. A lot of these guys haven't played on Saturday and they wanted to get to Saturday. They wanted to get a chance to get to the end of this tournament. Saturday is the end, so we are there.
Gordon Vadakin
We are certainly going to see some exciting basketball games. I can see four or five teams capable of getting hot and winning. We want to go into the tournament and continue to get better with each game.
Marty Rowe
I guess it was making it as far as we did in the tournament. I don't know if I could say there was one game, but I think they said, 'This guy deserves it.' Fortunately I was one of six or seven guys that got in there at the last minute.
Brandon Moss
Our team is more of a tournament team instead of a dual team and I expect us to do a lot better (today). Our guys get up pretty well for tournaments. We are looking forward to it just as long we don't make inexperienced moves.
Nick Durham
We got all our goals accomplished except one, which was bringing home a trophy from the state tournament. It was a great year. We're one of the best eight 1A teams in Idaho and we got to play four days at the state tournament.
Dick Simpson
T.J. wasn't being a player and he wasn't focused on some things, but it turned him around. He had a great section tournament, and he continued it here.
Mike Yancosky
That's going to be fun to have all the best teams in the country playing at our place. Plus, we're going to a tournament in Hawaii this spring. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am at Wisconsin.
Audra Jeffers
We're really excited. It's been a goal of ours to a state tournament. They're excited and I think we'll be ready to go. We're certainly the Cinderella if we can a few games. Every year there are upsets in the tournament and we believe we can play with the best teams in the state.
Ryan Mcguire
We are ready and excited for the remainder of the season. The tournament was a great experience and we know we need to work harder and we can achieve anything with hard work.
Mike Simons
It was one those bad days for them [the wicket takers]. I think they bowled a bit too short, but all credit to them. They bowled splendidly well throughout the tournament [the World Cup].
Sourav Ganguly
You need five players contributing during the course of the tournament, which we did, but we had a couple guys struggle today. I'm disappointed because you like to win when you have the opportunity, but tying Arizona down at Tucson isn't so bad.
Randy Lein
It's just a wonderful feeling clinching the conference tournament championship. Our program has made remarkable strides. People counted us out early, but our guys showed character.
Michael Gainey
It's hard. It feels like back in high school my senior year. Four years of hard work and it's all over after the first game of the tournament. I really don't know what to say about it. It's just tough to deal with right now.
Delco Rowley
We had a couple of opportunities but it didn't go our way. Sometimes that happens in tournament play.
Ron Robison
We've got the quickness, and they've got the height. But on the fourth day (of the tournament) it's hard to get your quickness. We still have speed, but that first step isn't there.
Destiny Schang
We want to try to do the best we can for the state tournament and we think we can do something.
Joe Leicht
We were very successful when we hosted a state tournament. Babe Ruth gave us a shot to host a regional tournament, but we had to put in a larger fence on our field.
Jason Peterson
We enjoy the tournament. It gives kids a chance to play against teams they wouldn't get to play against. It's a great community tournament.
Renaldo Garcia
Going to the tournament and talking to him about the decisions he made and asking him how he put it together gave me a sense of his abilities. I talked to him (about the Wild management job) before this year's tournament and he said he couldn't talk about it until after the tournament.
Doug Risebrough
It's hard to find a tournament like that where there's a Novice division. Our kids can have the opportunity to fight against boxers from all over. That can open up a number of doors.
Kirby Sundheim
They're ready to compete against some of the better teams. We haven't finished out of a top five in a tournament all year.
Jon Engelking
I think if we'd gotten to the national tournament, she would have been able to display (her talents). I watched several of the (national tournament) games on the Internet and I think she can play with the best of them.
Barb Felderman
In the last month and a half, Michael has really stepped up and we need him to keep doing that in the tournament. He is a second offensive option for us and he's been rebounding very well.
Roy Shoulders
I was very pleased with our passing and defense, and we had some good heads up play, ... Overall, I think it was a decent tournament.
Beth Shelton
The goal was to get our feet on the floor at Villanova. That makes the district tournament a failure for us. I don't mean to be harsh, but if you have the kind of talent we have, you go pursue what you're capable of.
Jim Donofrio
I'm definitely hungry to get back [to the NCAA tournament]. That's a motivating factor.
Chad Timberlake
They're the defending (tournament) champs. We've seen them and they're not a 12 seed.
Brian Clodi
When you make a run like that in the WNIT, you have no other choice but to move forward, and the next step is the NCAA tournament.
Samantha Mahoney
The noontime contest will be watched with particular interest by close followers of the sport. Through the years, the teams representing the club have won every major tournament in the United States at least once.
Jimmy Newman
Hopefully, we can develop something that everybody will agree is a pretty good way to run a tournament. It will be a standard that everybody will want to replicate.
Jesse Jones
They proved they were meant to be in the state tournament.
Bryant Mckay
Great season, bad night. Offensively, we struggled all night (11-of-53 shooting overall). We just weren't making shots from the outside. There were stretches where we just couldn't make a shot and at this point of the tournament you just can't do that.
Bill Strand
We hope to figure out a way to combat them. There are no easy games in the tournament.
Chris Furlani
Irwin and Scherer pretty well dominated. Those two are wrestling about the best they can right now. Kiefer comes into the tournament 2-0, and coming off mono to finish second. That's phenomenal for him.
Brent Faurote
I missed the entire tournament season. It was very painful sitting there watching the games when I knew I could be out there helping the team.
Adam Morris
We are going to have to be creative in showing the NCAA how badly we would like to have this tournament here. We also have to be able to demonstrate that we can deliver on what we show them.
Dave Blank
I'm not so impressed with the eighth-place finish. But the kids wrestled hard and I think we're ready to go into the sectional tournament.
Jim Pappas
This is the kind of thing that just pumps some energy back into the school, I don't care if you're a sports fan or not. It's double nice, too. For the first tournament in the brand-new arena, we've got a home team playing. Wells Fargo Arena is going to be a home-field advantage for Des Moines Roosevelt.
Phil Roeder
I'm hurt. We lost in a championship game of a tournament that was very important for us. We left it all out on the court. We came up short but like I've always said, everything doesn't always go your way in life.
Daniel Horton
We've done so much this year already that why stop now? We actually got a gift from our administration and on the back of our shirt it says,'We're not finished yet.' (Even though) we are so excited to be here and at the NCAA tournament, you're not just satisfied with making the trip and staying at a nice hotel. You're down here for one reason and that's to win basketball games.
Megan Vrabel
I actually realized our potential the weekend before Crane at the Snyder Tournament. We went out of there 1-3 but we were two innings away from being 3-1. I had a pretty good feeling we had a chance to be real good.
Brad Harman
I am certainly pleased with their performance at the county tournament, everyone who won All-County honors and the kids who didn't. They all wrestled competitively.
Don Jantzen
One of our goals is to make to the Peach Belt Tournament. This format will help us get ready because playing in a tournament is a different type of baseball.
Art Inabinet
We tried to tell our girls to score early and keep scoring. But Lake Worth had been playing lights out in this tournament. We had a tough game here tonight.
Chuck Layman
I kind of panicked a second. You feel bad for Wayne if he is hurt because he wasn't able to participate in last year's tournament. We got a big enough lead we didn't have to play him at the end.
Keith Langford
There's such a cluster in the middle (of the standings) with teams jockeying for position for that conference tournament. We're going to do the best we can to get our kids ready to compete every night.
Robin Pingeton
PokerPadz™ allows the online player to shuffle, stack, roll and even bounce their poker chips while deciding if 'count chip69' is bluffing or really does have the nuts, ... PokerPadz™ Mouse Pad helps online players new to live action gear up for a real casino tournament. Practicing those chip tricks at home will let everyone at the table think you have been at the live games your whole life.
Kevin King
We need to get a little better consistency on offense, but our defense is there every night, and I think we're about ready for the tournament.
Mark Sinnwell
We just had to be more aggressive and take care of things. We started to get a little tentative and then we got more aggressive and that helped. This is definitely the way you want to start off in the tournament. We hadn't seen them (West Jordan) before and we had to adjust to that.
Beck Hansen
We're thrilled. The tournament continues to grow and grow in prominence, and there's a lot of potential to take it up to the next level. The sky's the limit.
Larry Peck
After the WPIAL tournament, I never thought he would have gotten here. But he's fought through a lot to get to this point. To get here and get a win is great.
Chuck Wonsettler
It was great theatre from a television standpoint, but when the field keeps getting halved each day, that's tough for a tournament director who's trying to sell tickets.
Mike Crosthwaite
To come into a Christmas tournament and not work on something would be crazy. I thought we did a pretty good job at addressing the things we needed to address, and the kids played pretty well against a lot of good teams.
Rick Brault
It's almost like golf — a guy can be one tournament on top of the world and the next one not make the cut. As long as they're in a groove, you've got to stay with them and ride them. If they start to trip up, boy, that's why you've got to have more than one ready to go.
Jeff Choate
Beau was the guy who stepped up in that game, and he had a stellar tournament.
Blair Shier
In our tournament over the weekend, we were right there. We just weren't able to get the finish. Once they do that, they're going to shine out there.
Cindy Thompson
I expect everyone to come out and play pretty hard, from all the schools. It's a pretty tough tournament, but I think our guys could do well.
Neil Kenner
I liked the way we finished strong. The first time we played (Missouri State), I thought we had both games we lost won, but found ways to lose them ... Anything they wanted to do, we let them. But we got smarter as the tournament went along.
Ben Stroud
We'll have one two weeks in August. We hope to book a youth hockey tournament here.
Robbie Nichols
We started playing well in the district tournament. Even though we lost, we played a strong game. Had some balls bounce the wrong way. I think the kids took something out of that.
Steve Hudson
We almost had Fort Valley, but couldn't come up with a date. Henderson State wanted us to be in a tournament but we had a tournament here at the same time. We talked with Delta State but they don't want to play in January and February, and we have enough region games in November and December without going into Mississippi.
Karl Smesko
The defense has scored over 40 points. You have to be comfortable with that going into the tournament.
Bryan Larrison
I think it's kind of fun for the people that are taking in the kids. It gives those families someone to root for during the tournament.
Jason Peterson
[Clark credited the goalkeeping efforts of Chris Cahill, who had his second shutout of the weekend and was named to his second straight all-tournament team.] You really can't start off much better that that, ... We were playing without starting defender Dale Relias who was out with an injury so our defenders played very well.
Bobby Clark
We continue to experience growing pains. Hopefully, Ashley and Nicole get it together for Monday's regional tournament.
Kris Humes
I think it's exciting that Delaware gets to host the [CAA] tournament. Unfortunately, it puts us in a bind.
Kevin Charles
Poker has leveled out, but new players are gradually coming in; just not as fast. We've developed two kinds of players - those who like the cash tables, and tournament players. It's two different styles of play.
Jay Tigner
I don't think our team was ever cocky. But you kind of get casual. When we went to the Wyoming tournament, we were picked to win, and we kind of got casual.
Curtis Withers
Playing tough defense is always the key in the tournament.
Matt Diblasio
It's going to be a great challenge for us. It's really going to set us up for the tournament next week and get us used to playing back-to-back nights.
Ryan Herrs
Sam had an excellent tournament for a freshman. He had a real good chance, at one point, of winning the whole thing. The champ basically walked through the competition except for when he wrestled Sam.
Craig Oren
It gives us an edge going into the tournament in a sense that now we know we can win the conference tournament.
Duane Witter
We've done it before, not being the one seed, and still had success. We know more than anyone how to win this tournament. I hope that's our strength, our experience. I think the ladies feel pretty loose and aren't as stressed as I am, which is good. I think they feel pretty confident they can do this.
Chris Hoover
It was the hand of the tournament so far.
Joe Stillman
I'm really happy with my season and my four years here. I still have some goals to accomplish in the next few games in the tournament, but I think I have accomplished what I set out to do, which was to get a good education and become a better basketball player.
Rachel Laws
There were only two undefeated teams in this tournament and we drew the bracket that we were going to have to go through both of those if we wanted to stay on the winner's side of it. We'll do what we always do. Show up, strap our boots on and give it our best effort.
Joe Kiefer
We already have a sponsor for the match-play tournament. And that's something we are excited about.
Dick Butler
There are no perfect games in the NCAA Tournament. It's just survive and advance. The bottom line is we're not going home. I was sleepwalking this morning. But you know you have to get up and do it again today.
