H. Hunt Team Quotations

We're extremely disappointed for Caroline who had been having one of her best seasons ever. But we will have a strong team in women's downhill.

We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.

Yes it will, and I think Monterrey is just over an hour away by air. We felt it was very important to have an association with a Mexican team and we've created this Rio Grande Plate. We have a two-year agreement for 2006 and 2007 -- we expect that it will be a much longer lasting agreement than that, but we wanted to kind of put our toe in the water and see how it looks. I think it's going to be very positive.

Sensitive facts need to be disclosed to members of the defense team who are essentially strangers to the defendant. This takes months. Then evaluation by relevant experts must follow. It is an incrementally slow process.

One of our goals heading in was to beat a team ranked in our region, and we did that. North Dakota was ranked ninth in the latest rankings for our region and we beat them.

On paper the Birmingham event was our worst showing of the season. But it showed the true character of the team that we stayed with it and had a good race car for Robert in Round 10. Electrical problems are the most frustrating to deal with because they're so hard to find. It's not like a suspension problem, that's relatively easy to diagnose.

Having Eugene really helps us show our commitment. He's in a unique situation in that he owned a junior team before he owned an NHL team. He has a lot of credibility.

He was our only returning senior who played a lot, and I thought maybe he would try and be the man, but he was our leader in the way he played team basketball.

I think we're the best team in this conference. It's just a matter of us going out and performing.

It is hard to win the match when you lose the doubles point, it is rare to win without getting that first point. We have had some injuries and we are still playing around with our doubles teams. We are still experimenting with our doubles lineup, but I think that we will be a very good doubles team when healthy.

Our team goes nine players deep that can play tennis at this level. If some of our guys are hurt or are sick and they cannot play, we have guys that we can just plug in and continue on.

Our team believed that all year long (we were the best in conference). Even with the two regular season conference losses we truly felt that it was our tournament to win.

Our management team and operational infrastructure have been strengthened during 2005 and we now have the structure in place to move towards profitability.

I think everybody on the team and every unit ... we kind of played like it was our first game. I think we have some things to work on, but I don't think it's anything that we can't get together.

We're by far the top rookie team in the series. We've surprised a lot of people with our performance this season, and we still have a shot at the team title mathematically. Robert is just 21 points back in the driver standings, so with four rounds remaining a lot could happen.

You always hear about people doing this when their team goes away. It's neat to have everyone yelling for the same team.

We've got some tough games left, but the Hughes game is definitely a game we're concerned about. They (Hughes) return all five starters from a team that made the semifinals last year, so they're obviously a very talented team.

We think that it is going to be a good semester. Some followers of the program have told me that from top to bottom this is the most talented team that we have ever had.

We've had an excellent week of practice. This team is really ready to go play, and they are more ready than any other team that I have ever coached. Our team's main goal is to win conference. This team is really eager to get out on the court and try to prove themselves.

Wright State (0-4) is a tough team to tell anything on by their record. They have played outstanding competition thus far, including two matches with ranked foes (Michigan State and Ball State universities). They should be ready for a competitive match.

We had to come through and show we're a team to be reckoned with in the (Oakland Athletic League). This is exactly what we needed. We had to instill confidence in ourselves and our school.

We had to come through and show we're a team to be reckoned with in the (Oakland Athletic League), ... This is exactly what we needed. We had to instill confidence in ourselves and our school.

This team is one of the most experienced teams we've been able to field.

We're going to Tulsa to win it all. That's the goal that this team set in January and we're committed to seeing it through.

We are still trying to learn about ourselves and are trying to build on these last few matches and see what we can accomplish. We are trying to be a better team each time we go out there.

Every team that we play now will be a monster game. It will be a very competitive game between the two teams that are at the top. We are going to be playing the football we have been playing all season.

They were definitely the best team we've seen this year. They just pounded the ball.

It's a little different. Those are goals we set for our program. Certainly we came here with a team that could accomplish that.

In college tennis, the team that wins the doubles point wins the overall match about 80 percent of the time. When you win that point, you stress that. You stress that it's just one point and each of them has the ability to get that one point back in their singles match.

I'm not sure that was a bad thing for us. I'm glad we got the win, because you can't use ineligible players. But at the same time, I'm glad our kids realized they're not invincible. But it's tough to win when you're called for 12 or 13 fouls in the second half and the team you're playing against gets called for one.

The entire season has prepared us for the conference tournament. This tournament is why we play, it's what our team goals are based upon.
