Anytime people step up at the end of games to close teams out, that's the sign of a good team. We had a couple of guys who made some big plays and made us a winner tonight.
We're not going to win too many games last year with our defense. We certainly won with our defense tonight. It's great. It gives you a new source of pride.
To win three in a row is difficult. But they've done it to us and there's absolutely no way that we're incapable of doing it to them.
We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
Nothing is black-and-white, except for winning and losing, and maybe that's why people gravitate to that so much.
We were excited to win, staying undefeated is just the icing.
They will definitely enjoy it, no doubt about it, especially those who have never been. It will be great from a personal standpoint, but it will also benefit the group. Coach will also be able to help us, too, and pass on his experiences from the time he spent in Italy. So all in all, it will be great, the players will be able to absorb the culture and it will bring them together.
If my career has somehow inspired or gained interest in kids across the country, that would be unbelievable to have that sort of impact.
I'm very excited about that, ... He's a great player, a great teammate and a great guy.
We got a lot of great character guys and some great players that bring a lot of experience and toughness, ... Those things go a long way. If you're going to lose Joe Johnson, you can only make so much happen. We did about as well as we could do, minus the Finley deal. We're ready to make it work. I'm really excited. I'm happy with the moves we made.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
They were great to me. I appreciate that.
They were great to me, and I appreciate that, ... Hopefully, the Wildcat fans can stick behind us.
