Matt Bauer Quotations

We knew that was a good, quality opponent. We saw them on film, and that might be harder than I'd seen them play. When they play that hard, they're real good. They've got some tools on that team.

At the end of the year, he would not allow us to come out flat or accept less than our best, myself included. He holds not only the other players accountable but the coaches, too. He made sure we were all doing our job.

He knows where those are going, and drops them right in there. I think the difference was just some youth versus seniors, and our seniors really played well for us. Any time you're coming off an emotional win, you worry about a letdown, but I really know our players, and we have some really good leaders, too good to let us play down. There's too much on the line at this point of the season.

He is a heck of a player. He played in 23 games for us this year, and he scored in double figures in all 23. That?s pretty darn consistent.
