Dee Brown Teams Quotations

I feel that we want to accomplish a lot. I think we got the toughest bracket with a lot of good teams on our side. Last year expectations were high, but I think they're just as high this year.

Just look at teams like Hofstra and Michigan that didn't get in (the NCAA Tournament). We have to be happy. The Committee has a tough job.

We know other teams are going to give us their best shot. It's just how mentally prepared we are. And when another team goes on a run and gets the momentum, how do we respond? Do we lay down or do we raise our intensity? In the second half tonight, we raised our intensity.

We didn't play as well as we wanted in the first half, but in the second we came out with the intensity we needed. We play against teams that give us their best shot. . . . It's all how you rebound from that.

The word is really getting out (about Iowa Central cross country). Both teams should be much stronger this year and we have a lot more depth to work with.

Teams play better without their best player because others have the opportunity to step up and make big plays. They came out trash-talking and playing with confidence.

They came out and did a good job. Teams come out and give us their best shot. They play hard against us.
