I told the team they can either embrace the rankings or get cocky. I told them they haven?t been (cocky) all year. They have stayed focused on the task at hand.

This is the way it?s going to be every game. I told the guys to embrace it, not fight it, then go out and have fun playing the game.

I told him, 'Run the bases, don't try to be cocky,'

I don't know where they're getting their rankings from.

We are a good team, but we are not a cocky team. We know going into every game that we need to play our best, and tonight the kids came out and did a good job of executing the game plan.

They're a great team and they're very well-coached. They're great, but not cocky. They go out there and leave it all on the floor. ... They're a classy organization. I respect them a lot, and we'll have to play a great basketball game to beat them.
