John Tharp Guys Quotations

Well, you look at our record. A lot of guys have contributed to that, obviously. But those two guys have played such a role in what we've done and what we've accomplished.

Illinois Wesleyan is extremely physical and they have seven guys who have played together for three years. They came out extremely impressive against Whitewater (an 85-71 win Saturday).

Those guys have made us focus every day. It's not as if I have to motivate them or remind them. They understand what we're trying to do. If anybody steps out of line or doesn't work as hard as we think they ought to be, the seniors set them straight.

Since Sunday was a day off for us, it's OK for our guys to take this moment and enjoy it. It's pretty neat for our players, since they've worked hard to get here.
