Doug Evans Guys Quotations

I think we were feeling the pressure down the stretch, but our guys hung in there. This vision started a long time ago. Maybe not 35-0, but being state champs. Being 35-0 is just some icing on top of it.

I think everybody was excited and a little nervous with Robert out. But Tyler Smith did a great job coming in. What I like is that Tyler is a different kind of player than Robert, but he played solid basketball and set up some guys for easy baskets and made some really nice passes early. He just blended in like he'd been starting forever. It was nice to see a different lineup come out there and succeed.

Well, I think these guys know it's been a vision since we walked out of Peoria last year. That vision started last year the day after we got home -- of starting to try that march again. This has been a 300-and-something-day march. And we want to continue on.

We didn't know that until one of you guys told us. Our focus has been on first getting here, then on getting this one so that we're playing two games on Saturday. If (being undefeated) happens, that's great, but we hadn't thought about it.

The last two games, our guys off the bench have done a great job. We had guys come out tonight and you didn't know it. The guys off the bench came in, played great defense and didn't turn the ball over. Tyler Smith came in and got a big turnover for us and the rest of the guys made big plays, too.
