We've had our share of success against MAC teams through the years. We want to pick up some wins early and get our confidence up. We will go out and play ball and see what happens. We want to gain experience playing at this level.

Brian Japsen Ii

Sometimes it's been good, sometimes it's not been so good. I can't really say (why we've done so well in Memphis), I don't have a lot to justify why, kind of like our run on Father's Day (five consecutive wins on Father's Day). It's one of those things that, for whatever reason, we have a setup that seems to work when we're there.

Larry Dixon

I picked up a tougher schedule this year, giving up some surefire wins with five new games. West Haven was one of the new ones, so we had never played them before.

Lori Rubino

I've always prided myself on teaching these kids defense. Like any other sport, defense wins championships and basketball games. Offensively, you're going to have off nights. But defensively, you can always play defense.

Buddy Valinsky

On defense, we started off pretty rough but we never quit. We kept going, and kept busting them in the mouth. The defense never quit, and defense wins games.

Anthony White

Fairfax has never before given a Democrat 60 percent of the vote. You can no longer say it's a fluke when a Democrat wins Fairfax County. A pattern is emerging.

Gerry Connolly

We didn't play very well, but we played well enough to win. We have a 10-day break now and it's a coach's dream to go into it with three wins in a row and getting everyone into the last two games.

John Tiziani

Every game, we start out thinking about an upset, because every game is going to be an upset [if Baylor wins].

Patrick Fields

One way to find your place is likethe rain, a million requestsfor lodging, one that wins, findsyour cheek: you find your home.

William Stafford

I think the goal for us right now is to make MPSF playoffs and that's something we know we can do. These past two wins have shown that we're definitely on track for where we want to be.

Max Klineman

The Wisconsin Department of Justice vigorously enforces the No Call law and regularly seeks and wins judgments against violators.

Peg Lautenschlager

You never like to end a day like that, ... But this is my 31st start and I finally got double-digit wins, so I will take it. I love this time of year because every game counts.

Derek Lowe

He who gets the best players usually wins.

Bobby Bowden

It just felt great. Going into districts with a couple of wins gives us a little momentum. Hopefully we'll get a little run going.

Spencer Paulsen

Definitely. Hopefully we can come out for the rest of the season and get the wins we're definitely supposed to get and just work extra hard. And we'll be in it.

Katie Nelson

A lot of wins. Every time we needed a basket, she scored a basket.

Matt Schmelzer

I know this is a tough loss for them (seniors), but they have done a lot for the school. They set a team-record for wins and they have nothing to hang their head about.

Carmen Hines

It's very rewarding. It's been a special year for us: (a) new car, new team, a lot of wins.

Tony Thomas

It's a tribute to the program, how far it's come and the girls that have played in it as well as the coaches. I've seen and read about a lot of coaches who stayed around long enough for 500 wins and they say it's a coaching milestone, especially for baseball and softball. It's good to get there in that company, but it's really for the program.

Callen Perreira

This win was important; it puts us towards our goal of 10 wins. The purpose was to improve from last season and finish at least .500 to help turn the program back to the winning side.

John Blackburn

We didn't want to be in a hole in the last round, but we really stepped up in a lot of places. Those are pretty big wins for those three.

Mark Reiland

Our pitching staff is probably the biggest question mark for us, because we don't have anybody coming back that was dominant last season, that had 10 wins, they you can say, 'Hey give this guy the ball and he'll go out there and give us a win.' We don't have Brian Baker anymore. We've got some guys that are talented and we'll probably have to use more guys and develop some roles.

Greg Appleton

Probably two or three of [our close games] should have been wins. They're not at that turning point yet.

Gavin Stevens

I really think we can at least double the amount of wins we had last year at the very least. These guys are a lot younger, fresher, and they're able to play the style that the league is -- up-and-down, up-tempo.

Terrance Dickens

I think we got our adrenaline going a little too much. Having a chance to clinch the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament and get to 20 wins I thought was motivation enough.

Tom Jessee

They'll rest. They'll sleep on the bus. They'll sleep a lot better knowing that they left with two wins.

Veronica Wiggins

We need performances like that and like we had against Wisconsin. At this time of the season you look to your older players to lead the way. Isaac has had a good career and we'd like to give him the chance to get to 61 wins.

Scott Sandelin

The extra points are huge, and their guys are going for it. Give them credit. They have really opened things up. If you look in terms of number of wins, we're probably right there. But if you look in terms of extra points, we're pretty far back.

Jack Spates

The plastic world hasn't won, only when it wins does a man lose hope.

Yegor Letov

I feel we have a good enough team to overcome adversity and get the wins and get to the tournament. We've always been to the tournament. We have the water at our neck right now, but I think we'll pull through.

Fendi Onobun

We are a little more relaxed now that we are in, but we still have four more big games to play. We are playing a couple of good teams at home, so this will give us a chance to get a couple big wins.

Ashley Loncarich

I didn't play a bad match. But it's tough to come up with wins against the top players in the region with basically no serve. I'm on the defensive on every single point.

Sam Jonas

No one is going to tell us we're done so we're going to try and keep fighting and try and get as many wins as we can. It's not as much about the wins and losses right now. It's about getting our game to where we want it to be.

Randy Robitaille

We don't want to be a team that comes to this tournament and wins one game and then goes home.

Bryan Martin

A takedown wins matches. All that matters now is winning.

Bret Nalley

It's nice to be a part of some history. Our team is a young team and we don't have a lot of records set. That's a lot of wins to put together in this league. It's a great momentum builder.

Tomas Vokoun

I'm happy because these are the kinds of matches where you're under pressure. At the start, they were very tight, but I'm happy the way they played and came out with wins.

Guy Forget

It's disappointing that we led the rally and scored the most stage wins but our pace wasn't reflected in the results. We must continue to work hard to overcome these teething problems with the new car.

Jost Capito

It's a very comfortable situation. In Edmonton, I was sort of his security blanket and the guy that he looked to when he needed a first down. Hopefully I can fill that need for him in Hamilton and help this team get some wins.

Terry Vaughn

We won't know the true ramifications of a quality schedule like this until the end of the year when it comes selection time. That's what our goal is. We don't care about wins and losses.

Tim Walton

Each team has won this year on the other's ice. Now it is just a race to three wins.

Mike Hastings

You don't want to lose any conference games. We're just trying to get some wins in the conference. We're going to try to turn it around.

Matt Watson

This is just people hedging their bets, ... They don't want to sour the business relationship if the other side wins. It all reinforces [the idea that] there will be a format war, and with a format war, nobody wins.

Van Baker

There's a whole lot of basketball left. We've got two guaranteed (regular season) games and one guaranteed ACC (tournament) game. If we can get those three more wins and maybe more, who knows where we can go. We're not giving up on the season yet.

Markus Sailes

The substitute also means that the team that wins the toss starts the match with a distinct advantage.

Stephen Fleming

It's basically for bragging rights for the state of Indiana. Whoever wins that game is basically the ruler of the state and can talk all the trash for that particular year.

Darius Walker

I think I can work with any of them. We are going to continue investing, whoever wins. We think long term, not just four or six years. We believe the country is strong, like almost all the countries in Latin America.

Carlos Slim

It means a lot. We have been struggling lately. People tell us that wins will come, that we are a young team and to just keep on playing. As a team, we're tired of hearing that.

Josh Dollard

I know we wrapped up the No. 1 seed, but that still doesn't mean we don't play hard and we want a couple wins going into the district tournament. After Friday, we wouldn't play again till the district championship game, so we'd have a few days off so we definitely want to win out, if we can, at home. I mean, they're going to be two tough games back-to-back.

Brian Smith

It's pretty cool, but it's only one win. It's not like 400 yards equals four wins. I wish it did because we'd be 8-2 now.

Shane Stafford

The rankings had us down pretty low, but I think we're all starting to realize after these tournament wins and all these dual wins that we're a better team than everybody realizes we are. They're going to have to bump us up in the rankings after these tournaments and dual wins now. Everyone's going to start realizing Truman State's on the move.

Adam Vogt

Every little kid who has ever watched the College World Series on TV has dreamed of getting the chance to go to Omaha. Now we're just two wins away from doing that. It's truly a dream come true.

Matt Riser

Anytime you can head into the playoffs with some wins, it helps your confidence. Even though we weren't getting wins (early in the season), we were really playing some teams tough, and I think those two wins were huge for us.

Dick Wettengel

Winning is great. Now we need to take these two wins and move forward with them into this weekend. We're facing two tough opponents.

Valerie Vladea

Two conference wins - we'll take them any way we can. We just battled back, chipped away and were able to score some more runs.

Todd Abbott

He deserves it. He has trained really hard. He's been in the sport a long time and I think it's his time. I hope so. I don't want to console him for losing, I want to be there right next to him when he wins.

Christian Niccum

We played a bit sloppy and were undisciplined at times, but a win's a win and now we move on to the semifinals.

Jason Versage

We're expected to get eight wins. We're expected to go to the tournament.

Pete Asadourian

Once we got the car fixed, she went on a tear. We ended up with five poles and three main event wins, including championship night. It's going to be a good year.

Bobby Micielli

He's the nicest guy in the world and everybody loves him. He will continue to be well fed. And he can always add more if he wins more.

Terry Lefton

It's all about wins and losses. I don't think it will ever come to problems with this team. We're going to win.

Hunter Hillenmeyer

That's what hurt us in the three losses we have, because all three of them were by one run. Early in the season we weren't getting those two-out hits, and now we're getting them. And that's the difference between wins and losses.

Dan Bowling

We got into a bit of a slump in game two, but we pulled out of it and scored seven runs in the sixth to regain our momentum. These were two big wins for us.

Tami Hackett

We had some signature wins against some traditionally strong programs like Tensas and Riverdale. It wasn't a one-game season, but this was the most important game of the season. It was a disappointing way to end it.

Dave Farrell

We know we're the underdogs, we have a young team. We have to come out and play. We're not going to evaluate on wins and losses, we're going to evaluate on our effort.

Rich Anderson

For any player to reach 100 wins is special. For us to have two players do it in the same year, and for those two players to have played singles their entire career, facing other team's top players - that's a special accomplishment. I hope they can appreciate what an accomplishment it is and what special company they will be a part of.

Jeff Holman

We shoot fouls at practice. It's a mental thing. We know we can hit them. We've been talking about that in big-game situations, you have to hit them. That's what wins games. Tonight we needed to do it. We concentrated and got the win.

Ryan Mooney

We want to win basketball games, and not let our egos get in the way. Everybody on this team has, at one point, been a star or a starter or a bigger part of their team. ... We have to understand that we are talking about wins, not who is going to have the points.

Gary Payton

You have to be good, you have to stay out of foul trouble and you have to win some really close games where things just go your way. It's not always the best team that wins. You have to have a bit of luck.

Doyle Wolverton

I think it says a lot about this team. I have great kids, great kids. They worked hard. They wanted to be better and they put the time in to do it. They got six wins this year, and if we put the time in, who knows? Maybe we'll get more wins next year.

Kami Roeder

That's two wins in a row for us.

Brandon Makela

We seem to be consistently successful this year. We've had at least two tournament wins. We've had debaters break at two of the biggest tournaments of the year.

Dan Mistich

I really respect Ben (Orth). When I retire, I hope he wins a state title.

Rick Bowers

I was actually surprised. But I'm really focused on getting wins at home, and getting ready for the WAC tournament.

Janevia Taylor

I love my sister, ... She's smart and I hope she wins. And, since she is older, I take orders from her, not the other way around.

Greta Van Susteren

Getting the seven wins was a great start to the day. We were in second place after the first session, but unfortunately the tournament doesn't end until (today).

Brian Smith

This means that if 54.5 percent of voters in Montenegro want independence, then we remain in union with Serbia and a minority wins over the majority. This does not seem fair to me, but we fully accept the proposal of the European Union.

Milo Djukanovic

My goal is to see the girls play more consistently and be more competitive and hopefully we will get more individual and team wins. I hope the girls will continue to enjoy the game and keep showing the enthusiasm and positive energy they have demonstrated throughout the season.

Paul Testa

Our aim is to finish on a high with a couple of wins at least from our last five games and I believe it is possible having come so close when not playing particularly well.

Fraser Watts

That's what this is all about - taking care of things at home and stealing a couple of wins on the road.

Pat Eberhart

I'm really very proud of the team's performance. Sarah was a part of many of these wins as a player, so it's nice that she shares in this. This really is a special team with great senior leadership. Ten of the girls on the team went to our middle school program. It's just a great tribute to everyone in the program.

Sarah Hill

If he wins the general election, he should extend his term for another year and make efforts to build a new LDP.

Yoshiro Mori

You never know what's going to happen at the district meet. I've been doing this a long time, and I've come to learn that nothing is a sure thing. Iowa City West definitely has its work cut out. If a couple of their kids get knocked off, and we get some big wins, we might be right in the middle of this thing.

Dan Mashek

A win's a win. Sometimes you don't step up until a team makes you step up. But we need to put teams away.

Chris Baca

I just think about performing. Whatever I do in practice, I just do it on the court and just let it happen. If (winning) happens, fine. I know if I do the things I'm supposed to do, the wins will come.

Andres Martinez

We need to reel off three, four, or five (wins) in a row and go from there.

Brian Urlacher

You hate to see yourself when you?re on the bottom. You look after you win a few and you?re back to respectability. At this point, it?s a little early to be looking every day. We?re just trying to build from game to game and put some wins together.

Trevor Letowski

I'm proud of some of the surprising wins we've had, but we've also had some disappointing losses.

Randy Moore

I hope the kids have a chip on their shoulder after what happened to them up there. We need to get two wins out of our next three to clinch it.

Chad Whitworth

Twenty wins, that doesn't happen very often in high school. I was happy to see Greg get that tonight.

Rob Hammond

So I said, 'Well, I'll try it,' and we proceeded to string four (wins) in a row together, and it becomes one of those deals where you don't ever go back.

Vic Koenning

I think it's human nature to go out there with that mind-set. Defense wins championships, just like the Rhinos used to do.

Mike Burke

I can easily recall plays that we could have changed and plays we maybe should have made. Those tend to stand out more than the wins.

Phil Danaher

The old story in antitrust cases is that the government wins the battle and loses the war. The question is: What do you get in relief?

Harry First

When they see that type of competitive spirit, they will be able to appreciate this team, even if they don't have as many wins as they would like to see. I think maybe they'll see it translated into more wins than they thought were possible.

Fran Mccaffery

The wins by Alex and John were really the story of the match. If they don't win, it's 3-3 going into doubles and they (East) are always known for having strong doubles players. Both Alex and John have been playing steady tennis recently and at No. 5 that's what you want.

Andy Brunner

We got a couple big wins on the weekend but we've got to keep building. These are the types of games we need to find a way to win. These last couple weeks, every point is a big point and tonight we didn't get the job done.

Stephane Yelle

She's made it to the top 12 so far. This is a pretty big contest, and people come from all over to compete. If she wins, the prize is $50,000.

Michelle Sandoval

Everyone is into it, the energy is good. These were two big wins. When you win two straight games, everyone kind of forgets all the negative stuff.

Isaiah Fox

Paris has said she is mad about poker and that she always wins in Vegas. We're offering her the chance to get lucky and she doesn't even need to leave her house. We're aware that her parents have banned her from gambling at their casino. This online challenge solves all her problems...she can cover her losses without stepping foot in there.

Warren Lush

Obviously, from the wins and losses standpoint, it was a very disappointing season for the Bend Elks.

Jim Richards

Road wins are hard to come by. You really have to go out and fight on the road. Making sure you take care of your business at home is a pretty big deal.

Jessica Davenport

We ran the ball well tonight. A win's a win but we still have a long way to go.

Tom Lee

That's one thing that he wants us to do here, play solid. Making little mistakes here and there will cost runs. That's what he wants to stress more than anything else. Wins look good, but if you don't do everything fundamentally sound, you're not getting anything out of the spring.

Shane Victorino

I think there's not enough made about the chemistry of a team and the ability of everybody to pull on the same end of the rope and worry about what matters, and that's wins.

Aaron Rowand

Coach always tells us it's not necessarily the team with the best players but the best team that wins. I think tonight you saw that. We don't have McDonald's All-Americans. We don't have All-Americans.

Sarah Lowe

I think about getting the wins to put us atop of the conference. That overshadows everything else.

Mark Walters

Millie desperately wants to be president but never wins the election. Ginger Breadhouse who is 'Miss Perfect' beats her out every time, ... On the outside Millie acts very secure, but on the inside she is a mess - she has an alcohol problem and can't understand why they won't allow alcohol on the (library) premises.

Bill Stokes

I could care less who wins. I'm just here for a good time.

Chris Davis

We played them last year, so we had them on the schedule again, so these are some good ball clubs that we're playing. For us to get a win over Jacksonville and South Carolina State, those are big wins for us. What we need to do is go win on the road.

Colin Stevens

Great teams have to win on the road. So we have to get some wins on the road and get on a roll. We need to keep this streak going on into conference.

Drake Reed

We have had a good January. Five wins, including two away, and I must be pleased with that.

Kevin Hopkins

I wanted to make the top 50 in the world, top 15 in Europe, have two wins and score under 63.

Fredrik Jacobson

It was tough. I tried to be positive and not come down on them for making mistakes. We got comfortable and the wins started coming. From there I tried to stress that this could be a special season if we stayed hungry.

Cedric Drake

Binns is the best team we've played and they always will be. They're the best coached team that we will play. This wins means a lot. I have all the respect in the world for that school, that team and their coaches.

Billy Mitchell

We've been in a lot of big games the last two years. What did we have, 24 wins last year? Eighteen this year? That's 42 wins with Scotty Aston at the point.

Tim Starkey

We just didn't get easy baskets on the other end. That played a very big part in our first two wins. Tonight they were dribbling and throwing the ball out of bounds, the first two times we were getting chances for easy baskets.

Daniel Wright

There's a sense of urgency to start getting wins. We get this win, it gives us more confidence going into the UTEP game and to continue racking them up.

Jason Forte

We've averaged 20-plus wins a year for the last five years, five straight NCAA tournaments. Kids graduate. Hey, that's a successful program.

Tony Haynes

We like being on top and we like people hunting for us, because that means we're doing things well. I'm not going to take anything away from our season. We're 24-6 and my second year -- with those freshmen that did well last year -- we had seven losses. So we're happy with where we are. North Idaho, looking back now, one of those wins would have won it for us outright.

Randy Rogers

The American riders tend to do a lot better on the finish circuit. They are more used to it than the European-based riders. This will definitely play into who wins the stage - it's who wins the turns. I like one of the American teams for this stage.

Chuck Hodge

Paul had a great tournament. He had a couple big wins early on. He was never intimidated by anybody or anybody's ranking, so I was really impressed with him. I thought all of our kids wrestled well.

Jerry Mcswords

When we strengthen our cooperation and help workers in the same industry unite, everybody wins.

Andy Stern

We've won some close games this year, and we're gaining confidence. It would be great to win a game by 20 points, but we'll take the wins any way we can get them. This was a great win for us, and the offense really stepped up. Some of the kids hit some big free throws and grabbed some big defensive rebounds tonight.

John Fusco

We were embarrassed in our first ACC game. I know we'll get wins in this league. We can start Saturday against Florida State at home. You can't count this team out yet.

Jared Dudley

Our guys have continued to work hard. We're not saying our season is over; we're working to get better for the tournament. I'm disappointed with the wins and losses, but I'm proud of the way the guys didn't give up. They proved to me that they haven't given up.

Keith Gunter

It's pitching, hitting and defense that wins. Any two can win. All three make you unbeatable.

Joe Garagiola

We were on the bus coming home from the Framingham Tournament (last Wednesday) and we started talking about it then. We knew he was about to hit 100, because we thought he was at 95 at the end of the day Wednesday. He got three wins Friday, so we thought he was at 98. We clapped when we figured it out, but it snuck up on us. We weren't thinking about it.

Alan Rotatori

The wins are gonna come. We're going to re-awaken this sleeping giant.

Roy Culberson

We want eight wins to get into the state tournament and then we'll take it from there. We also want to be competitive in games and win the tight games. We had some good teams on the ropes last year, but we couldn't put them away.

James Apicelli

(It's been) tiring, ... but two wins (in a short time frame) is always good. Hopefully we can make it three on Tuesday in Madrid ... I'm not excited about the travel and trying to recover, but I think stepping out on the field there will be really cool.

Landon Donovan

It's big for us to be 2-0 in the conference with two road wins. The conference is basically even, and we really think 8-2 could win it. So we're thrilled to be where we are.

Dave Stephens

Here's something to think about: How come you never see a headline like 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Jay Leno

A win's a win. We're still in the hunt for the playoffs.

Dave Poole

We are really happy that things went our way and we got the two wins at home. We have focused back on defense and mixing things up. They played the last two games really well defensively.

Wendy Hedberg

I think our team is gaining more and more confidence with every win, particularly playoff wins. I think that confidence is evident in how they play.

Joe Lafko

Offensively we knew we might be behind the 8-ball. I was hoping that our pitching and defense would help us in carrying us to a few more wins than we have, but after a while that lack of offensive production starts to wear down on you as a club.

Cam Bonifay

It's definitely a big game. It'll be the better team that wins. You never know. We have to play our 'A' game that day. It's going to be a fight no matter what. We didn't play well that game and we didn't deserve to win. Hopefully we can come back and redeem ourselves.

Kerri Burke

We are learning the game every day. Our girls have improved from day one 100 percent. Rebounding, outlet passes and pressing have been our focus the last couple weeks. The girls have responded with hard work and multiple wins.

Jeff Kern

You're really only as good as your recruiting classes are. I think some our program's successes have been taken for granted after averaging 21 wins a season over the last 37 years. That's something we're really proud of, but we've had a lot of really great players here that made that possible.

Warren Caruso

A lot of our kids had never played outside the valley before. This was an opportunity to play some teams we wouldn't necessarily play. Getting three (wins) of four is a pretty good step toward where we want to go.

Lindsay Mccargar

I thought if we could get three wins between 125 and 145 pounds, we would be in good shape. And we even got one on a pin.

Nate Etheridge

You cannot rely on the traditional authoritarian model anymore. It does not work. No one wins in a power struggle. No one.

Kitty Kelly

You don't really look at what kind of goals they scored or what the situation is. You've got to win games - it's not about how many shots you take or save percentage - it's about wins and losses. When you go into the third period up 2-1 as a goal¬tender, you want to win that game.

Gregg Naumenko

He's always been a respectful young man. . . . If he wins, he goes over and shakes hands, just like when he loses. The program I think benefited him as far as his overall discipline.

Sean Flynn

We certainly would like to come back with wins. But of course, my focus is not necessarily on winning. The strategy that we will come up for our first couple of matches will be designed to win the game but the team goals will be slightly different. I may ask them to possess the ball for a certain amount of minutes of the game to see how our training is being transferred to the field.

Todd Rasnic

Society tells us that we all need to win. That's how we make ourselves better. But when you get right down to it, making everyone feel good about themselves should be much more important than wins and losses.

David Boudolf

We don't care about back-to-back winning seasons. Going 9-7 isn't good enough. Last year, we were two wins short of where we wanted to be.

Patrick Kerney

There are no ugly wins.

Dan Guerrero

These were two pretty big wins, because we go on the road for six and needed to do so with some confidence. I thought the guys responded well today, and we did a good job on the mound. It was one of those days where the hitters have the upper hand due to the way the wind was blowing, but we're all excited about the prospects of where we stand now.

Deron Clark

It's really big for us because we came off a couple of losses. We really needed it trying to get back over .500. We just need to keep the wins coming.

Krei Meier

My first season, we got three wins. I don't think we got more than six for my first 4-5 years. Now, we've gotten almost 70 over the last five years.

Greg Allen

He's 3-0 and he hasn't even pitched as good as he can yet. He's a very competitive guy. Even when he doesn't have his best stuff, he still wins.

Don Werner

It went very well for the team. It was almost a lift, to start off with three wins gives us a big push going into our continuing workouts that we have and into our preseason.

Carlai Moore

We have had so many injuries and our schedule is very tough. Every time we go out on the court, we have to play well. It is not going to be easy, but we need to pick up a couple of more wins.

Jake Palluzzi

This gives us a nice weekend, coming off three straight wins and a consolation championship against your biggest rival, on our own floor, in front of our own fans.

Nate Spriggs

We knew they weren't going to run out of gas any time. Big East road wins, this is how they are every game. It doesn't matter who you're playing or what their record is.

Patrick Beilein

(North Smithfield) won more 50/50 balls than we did, today, ... In soccer, especially on a raw, windy day, the team that wins the most 50/50 balls are most likely to come out on top.

Richard Grenier

What's really different here is that we are changing the rules. We're saying the developer who wins is the one with the most affordability.

Shaun Donovan

I told the kids that it is playoff time now and I believe that it is not always the most-talented team that wins but the one that wants it the most. That is the way we had to play.

Norm Gagne

I definitely think today the team suffered a letdown. I do think we need to put it behind us though and come out this weekend to get some wins.

Anna Olson

Coach Hatcher preaches defense, and I preach defense. If the other team can't score, they can't win. That's what wins championships.

David Tibbs

We've got a sense of urgency because we're in a situation where we need to get wins on the road. We need to play well.

Ronnie Brewer

I don't think we should be satisfied. We're going to keep trying to get wins.

Jermareo Davidson

Our impressive list of recent wins in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, India and China further solidify our leadership position. With the new strategy and appointments we expect to be more agile and accelerate the growth of the company.

Dr. Moshe Benbassat

People picked us to go sixth in the Big Ten, ... People said we should be happy with six or seven wins. Now we're on top of the Big Ten right now.

Michael Robinson

I want them to learn that defense wins games.

Jen Banas

People say Danbury always wins, but it's different kids each year. These guys have nothing to do with the kids that one that first title back in 1991.

Rob Murray

I think it all depends on how good this fight is. I don't know how to rank it. If this turns out to be a dramatic fight and Roy wins, people will look back at all three (in a fond way). But he has to win in a theatrical way. That would make it a great trilogy, maybe.

Larry Merchant

I've seen teams win Super Bowls like that. Defense wins championships in this league, and I don't see why we should be any different.

Adewale Ogunleye

We're definitely disappointed. For beating Tennessee, probably one of the biggest wins of our career here, it didn't feel as good as I wanted. We definitely got to get better.

Randy Hand

It's a challenge I'm willing to take on fully. If I can catch Jake in wins, obviously that would be a good thing. But at the same time I want Jake to get his wins, too. Right now it's a selfish time of the year for a pitcher. You want to get your wins; you don't want to have any losses.

Adam Eaton

I'd seriously consider asking Bob Dole, if President Clinton wins, to be a cochairman, ... but that might be a fantasy.

Pete Peterson

It's hard to get wins on other courts. We have to shut out the adversity and act like it's our home court.

Cherlanda Franklin

Being the first lady's program here to make it is special, and we're proud of that. But that's not enough. We want to go out and pick up some wins in Hays. That's the team plan.

Mindi Brennaman

We knew they would be tough in the singles matches so we knew we needed to win at least two doubles matches to have a chance. We won three and after that we really took their confidence down and we were able to pick up two more wins in singles play.

Tony Larson

Whoever putts best wins. When you have a decided advantage in the home crowd, that can really make the difference. People yell when putts go in.

Dottie Pepper

He's very deserving. It's amazing what he's been able to do in turning around a losing program to one that wins a lot and averages 3,500 fans at home.

Melanie Boeglin

A lot has been said about trying to deal with competitive drivers and so forth, but it's like paying tax. You only pay tax if you make money, and making money is a good thing. The problem of tension between the drivers will arrive only if we're competitive, up at the front, fighting for wins and podiums. That's a problem I would love to have.

Gil De Ferran

I am most proud of my win in Moscow in 2002 beating Venus [Williams], Mauresmo and Davenport, ... And I'm very proud of making the decision to come back after my shoulder surgery. I could easily have called it quits, but I worked very hard, and winning that first tournament in Pattaya after coming back meant a lot to me too. The wins later in my career were much more satisfying than early on.

Magdalena Maleeva

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.

Todd Hansen

We've been putting together a lot of big wins. Hopefully we can go out there and finish what we did in the regular season.

Dewayne Wise

I think it's a winnable match for him. But if he wins, his second-round match could be tough.

John Rittenhouse

Our women's team had a good win. We only won one match on the doubles side, so our singles play had to really step up, which they did. We took wins in the Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 spots to claim the win, all straight set wins. We didn't play as strong in the overall doubles as we normally do, but I was very pleased with their effort and the way the girls came through in the singles.

Sally Brown

He's a magician on the field. He's the heart and soul of our team. He goes out there and puts it all on his shoulders, so all of our wins and losses go to him.

Wali Lundy

It was two good wins here, but a lot of other teams are playing confident. We just have to carry our confidence on to the road and keep it up.

Kari Koch

If they continue to shoot the ball like that, they are going to beat a lot of people. There's a reason why they have some quality wins in conference play.

Dickey Nutt

It's nice to have a conference win. We've got a great group of kids and they proved that they can play some awesome hockey. Having two wins in a row now says a little bit for them. Their confidence level is getting up and that's great. I'm so pleased for them. Hopefully, we'll continue to see more.

Kalli Schutz

Who ever wins today will win the championship no matter who wins.

Denis Law

The litmus test, ... will be what happens when somebody wins the race.

William Stephens

I'm more worried about the wins. The records don't really mean nothing to me. I just want to win.

Bruce Carter

Bad service is something everyone can relate to -- we've all had an experience with an obnoxious employee or had to call to correct an error on a bill. What we often can't relate to is the great way a company recovers from a service failure and wins our future business.

Kristen Detienne

The wins definitely helped our confidence level. It shows us we can play in the Big East.

Ian Kawas

We must play more consistently, we need more easy baskets, and we need to keep getting better. We have not had back-to-back wins this year. Our inexperience shows at times. We are working hard for our offense. We need more baskets in the paint.

Tony Mormile

One of the great things about athletics is that it really tests your character. I'm eager to see how we respond this week. Not in terms of wins, losses, league championships, or anything like that, but in terms of our team competitiveness. Our team pride. Our guts. Are we going to shy away from these challenges, or are we going to stand up and fight?

Chris Roche

Things are starting to look up a bit. We just have to string together a couple of wins.

Dave Lamarre

Everybody says that defense wins championships. It doesn't if you can't score.

Bart Manson

We keep having unfortunate things happen to us with injuries and everything, but we're just trying to stick with it and keep our heads high and play as hard as we can. We don't have a lot to work with, so effort is going to have a lot to do with us winning. We have to play as hard as we can so we can get some wins.

Luther Head

Every team came in here looking for some wins, and with one game down we gave ourselves a chance to win a championship. I liked the way we competed the entire night.

Scott Paluch

That (game) was something we talked about before today. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen again. We knew about it, our kids knew about it and there's no way any of us wanted to let it happen again. Once we won the first (game) to get to 13 (wins), we knew we had to get to 14.
