bigger came level physical point price shot stronger sudden
When Price came in, all of a sudden our physical level just shot out of the roof. An exclamation point on, 'We're bigger than you, we're stronger than you,' was made by Price.
both gotten gym improved last question quite teams time
Both teams have gotten so much better from the last time we played. Both teams have been in the gym quite a bit. We know what they do, they know what we do, the question is how they've improved on what they didn't do well here in November, and how we've improved from what we didn't do well in November.
advantage against game games guys locker lose physical teams
I told the guys in the locker room, Game 2 is the way we can lose an EIVA match. Games 3 and 4 are the way we have to play against teams we have a physical advantage over.
brings double fun hopefully lose match maybe situation
I told them to take a look around and hopefully in May we're in that same situation with maybe double the crowd. That's what's fun about it. This match with this crowd, you never want to lose the aggressiveness that brings you to that point.
blocks defense good offense putting starting together volleyball
The offense is starting to click, and we're putting together better runs. We're starting to play good volleyball and our blocks and defense have improved.
front great hometown love playing
It's always great to play in front of your hometown crowd. It's something you can't underestimate, and we love playing at home.
couple days figure five four gym leaders remember trying
It's always interesting to remember them their first couple days in the gym as wide-eyed freshman, who were really trying to figure out what was going on, what to do. And four or five years later, they're leaders of the team.
weekend
It's going to be a big weekend for us.
admit crowd
They did not play well here, they'll be the first to admit that. But down there, they're going to have a crowd and it's going to be loud. I don't think it's going to be easy.
expect game great hand match matter neither rivalry score
It's a great rivalry with the Buckeyes. You just know that neither team, no matter what the score of the game is, will never be out of the match so you can't back off and expect them to hand it to you.
april bit days fresh gotta knees late men point possible reaching season starting
We're reaching a point in the season when knees are starting to get a little bit tender, and shoulders. Especially in the men's game, you know, you've got 190 pounds, it's not the jumping, it's the landing. I want us to be as fresh as possible in late April or May. If we gotta give them some days off and let them recover, I think with the men it's real important to do that.
They don't back off with the heat, they bring.
full hands prove
They're out to prove something. We're going to have our hands full down there.
care chased fourth francis game good guys locker nice played room saint second team third tonight took
There were times tonight when we were passive, and that's disappointing. But I got chased out of the locker room after the second game and the guys took care of the rest. I like the way we played in the third and fourth games. Saint Francis is as good a team as they were in the mid-90s, they have a nice future.
