guys handled overcome reason seniors stuck time
The seniors are the reason we play. It's our program, but it's their team. These guys have overcome so much. At one time or another, each one of them hasn't started. But they all handled it. They have stuck through it.
case guy kept seven six taken time worked
Another guy who at one time was starting, was taken out of the lineup, never got down, kept working (and) worked his way back in. You can make that case for about six or seven of them.

Confidence, I think, is something that spreads throughout the team. When they see one guy playing with confidence, it kinda filters to the next guy, and so on.
enjoy gives guys joking laugh spend talk talking time watch
We get in there, get a sandwich, watch a movie. Those guys talk and laugh in the back. What I like is that it gives us a lot of time to spend with the guys. It's a different setting, and we're talking and joking around with them. They just enjoy it.

This was a group of guys with unbelievable determination to win this game. Toledo played their hearts out, but these guys would not be denied.

It's been a strength of ours all year. We play nine or 10 guys. We have different guys step up. We don't rely on one or two guys. We utilize our bench as much as we can.

It's great to have that kind of tradition. That's unbelievable. In a lot of places, after four years, guys are gone and never come back, but not here. That's what makes this program special.

We're not good enough to match up with those guys one-on-one. We have to rely on solid team defense to contain those guys.
best bus guys kids laugh memories played talk
We were able to keep to the same routine. We got a sandwich, popped in a movie, the kids talk and laugh at the back of the bus. That's where a lot of the memories happen. If you talk to the guys who played here, they say some of their best memories are of the bus rides.

You never know what's going to happen. Guys gets hurt, and those (younger) guys have to get experience.

He wants to do so well that sometimes he presses. He's trying to do so much, and he sees guys making plays, and he wants to do well.

He is the toughest guy who I've seen play here. I really admire what he's done.

Some guys on our team were visibly tired. We kept telling them in timeouts, you've just got to gut through it.
