We got out pretty good, pretty early. We did a good job mixing it up, inside and outside.
I've taken ground balls there during batting practice and Orlando's given me tips like a good veteran. ... I'll work hard at it and it'll feel like home,
We got good balanced scoring tonight. We did a nice job of getting the ball inside to our post players. I was pleased with the team's effort.
This team's always been good at even if we don't win battling back and not giving away at-bats. We kept in there and ended up on top.
We were down by four at the half. But we had a good third quarter. Troy had 14 points in the second half and that really jump started us. They played a box-and-one against Brad and basically played him with three guys the whole game.
It's a big opportunity we have together. He was drafted first, and I was drafted the year after. We talk about last year, and we're learning as we go. Every day, we're out here picking each other's brain and learning about certain types of feeds that I like and ones he likes. At the same time, we're good friends.
It was funny. They went all out on this thing. We walked in and it was typical, just like a wedding would be. They did it right, they sure did. We had to cut the cake. They did a good job.
He's helped me through everything, really. Having Johnny Mac to really show me everything and giving you positive feedback -- how I'm doing, how I'm looking. It's always good to have someone there.
If you're not adjusting one way you're adjusting another, ... but it's good to learn that now because obviously I want to be here for a lot more years.
We implore the students of the Kennel Club to show the nation this weekend what makes Gonzaga different.
We scored six runs in the first inning. We had three hits and one walk in that inning and Stowe had seven errors. And then after the first inning it was a 3-3 ball game.
Everyday when I'm working I want to see how many times I can hit (Adams) in the chest (with a toss). I mean, no one's perfect. But that's what I'm trying to work on.
We did a nice job of using our inside/outside game to get the early lead and coasted from that point. Schneider had a nice game off the bench with 16 points.
We have a lot to work on. But we're getting experience.
