I feel like we've been so close every year. I feel that this is our year to do it.

The most athletic team there is in this conference tournament. In order for Texas College to win, we have to take our smartness to another level, get the team to play hard, and we can't beat ourselves. I feel like nobody in this conference is capable of beating us except ourselves.

I'm so excited because every year we've gotten to a different stage. We've feel short with teams that were good enough. It's time for us to take it this year. We're going to leave it all on the floor.

It is different with it being a rivalry. We feel we have the better team. We have something not only to prove to ourselves but to the other teams that we're the better team in East Texas.

Czyz is the best defensive player we've got and he made it hard for (Beaty) to get the basketball. My philosophy is if you work hard to get it, you're too tired to do anything with it.

They were in foul trouble and had to make a few substitutions. I felt their backups couldn't handle the pressure. That's when it went into our favor.
