Being the returning state runner-up immediately put a target on Alex. I knew he had pressure on him to win it this year, but I don't think I realized how great that pressure was until after he won it, when he was talking about how it felt. I think he handled that pressure pretty well.

I thought our guys wrestled really well today. Alex and Nick wrestled very well. Alfred was a little disappointed he didn't win, but he wrestled well. He can wrestle better yet.

You can see that Alex is a very shifty runner. And Herb is just a load out there.

We walked in and immediately knew that was it.

This is just such a great win for me and the Target team because we knew we had the car for this track which is very difficult and also rewarding when you put a good lap together. ... We had to have good fuel strategy and we knew this track was all about momentum. It's good to come back to the road courses and win once again. This one win makes this very difficult season so much better.

We need to handle their full-court pressure. If we can shoot the ball well, take care of the ball and make things difficult on the interior, we should be OK.
