Those second sets will give our guys some confidence in later matches, and hopefully pay off throughout conference play,

I can't get down (emotionally). I still have bills to pay and will try to go with the flow. Hopefully, I have enough talent to get another job around here ... I hope they can privatize Lone Star to keep it open and supply jobs.

I was really pleased with the way our team took care of their matches today. Tyler Roach gave us a fantastic effort at three singles, and Sean Brown performed well at one doubles.

We need to solidify what we're doing up front. We got the five guys, hopefully, in the five positions that are best going to help us win now. It's just a matter of everyone working together and coming together over these last two games.

We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.

I've always played well in Sydney. Hopefully, I can get some matches there under my belt before going into Melbourne.
