Tom Thacker Quotations

This win gives us momentum going into the playoffs. We are a team to be reckoned with. This first year has been a slow process. It will take Pittsburgh some getting used to a new franchise. But we just need more exposure.

I was trying to find a combination of guys dedicated to hustling and playing defense. But you expend twice as much energy to catch up, then you're exhausted. We took a couple ill-advised shots at the end.

We played really sluggish and relaxed on defense. We played lousy.

We showed we had some character and that it's not over until it's over. We just made some bad decisions down the stretch that cost us.

It's a matter of experience over talent, and we were very inexperienced. I'm proud of this team. The season was very successful. I have no regrets except we lost this last game.

I'm proud of how well the team did this year considering how young they are. This team will continue to get better and will be much more mature next year.
