We've never backed down from playing anyone. We've played a lot of great teams. But we never took one on the chin like that. (Wyoming Area) was a much better team than us.

We are now 1-0 and looking forward to playing one of the best teams in the nation. I'm proud of this team.

They played every possession hard. Both teams wanted it very badly.

They've played some good teams to get there, and they're playing good basketball right now.

It might have been the best game he has played all year.

I don't know if we've played against teams as talented as teams we're playing against now. Playing hard, playing unselfish, doing all the right things, team-wise, is great. ... But it's not good enough to beat good teams.
