We felt like we had a good play where we could fake the run up the middle and draw people up and give Calvin a chance to win it one-on-one,

We felt like we had a chance to win that game but we helped them out a lot in the fourth quarter and good teams take advantage of things like that. You can't make mistakes against them because they don't usually beat themselves.

We felt like we could win games. That's probably what got us through the end. It wasn't one of those games where people are making plays to win.

We felt like this was a must-win game for us. We felt that if we were going to have any shot at getting to the Catholic League playoffs, we had to win tonight. It was a big game in the league.

We felt like the (University of New Mexico) Lobos, we just can't win on the road. Were playing a little better at home right now. To run with the best team in the district for three quarters and then you look up and you're down by 18 points? Wow.

We felt like the pressure was on them coming over here. We were up for it, and we want to win the district just as bad as anybody and we're in a position to do it. Our guys are going to do what it takes.

We felt like if everything went well and we got some lucky breaks and a caution at the end that we would be sitting good at the end of the race on fresh tires. I am telling you what the big win for the day was that we had a lot of fun. Racing with Jeff Burton and Greg Biffle that was great fun.

Weber State is on a two-game win streak. They are playing well and with a lot of confidence.

We're going to hone in 95 percent of our time on George Mason. If you don't win the first one, you don't get to the second one. But if you get to the second one and you're not prepared and you don't get out of the weekend, I don't feel like that's where Michigan State is right now.

We're going to have to win some games on the road if we're going to get in the playoffs.

We're going to have to win at least 85 percent of our games for us to get there. But at least it's nice to know that we're playing for something, that we still have a possibility to get there.

We?re just trying to scrap out a win every time out. In this league there?s Hartford and then there?s the rest.

Unless there is an injury somewhere along the line, our starting lineup will be set. Guys will settle in and not feel the pressure of having to get a hit to stay in the lineup the next day. We've been communicating all along, but there's still that edge of, 'Hey, I gotta get a couple hits here or I'm not going to play.' And it's not like that. We just said, 'Everybody win jobs,' and that's what they did.

Unless prosecutors win the cooperation-through whatever means of the people below Buffett and Greenberg, it is unlikely that their reach will extend to them.

Unfortunately, it went off a stick and went the other way on me. You can't fault anybody on it. Guys are trying hard to block shots and get in lanes and do the little things that win hockey games. Unfortunately, they get a lucky bounce.

Usually Kipper is really sharp and he wasn't very sharp tonight. When you score four goals you should win the game.

We're motivated just on the schedule we have: having a tough schedule and wanting to prove to people that no matter if we have a tough schedule or not, we're a good football team, and we're going to win games.

We're more proud of our effort tonight than we were in the win against Oregon State.

Yea, that was typical of how we have played all year. We like to play solid defense and rebound the basketball. That's how we win games.

With Nellie, we tried it the other way. Nellie was brilliant for what he did, but for whatever reason, it didn't work.

Now, we're more geared to play defense.

We're going to compete and try to win while at the same time prepare ourselves for the future.

We feel that we have the quality to get the three points and we want to win the group.

We feel that Keith will be ready. He's the type of player we need to compete and win the gold medal.

We're expecting to go over and win the gold and defend the gold medal. Anything less would be disappointing for us. We know what we have to do. It's just a matter of doing it on the day when it counts the most.

We're excited to win the medal. But I think maybe in the back of our heads, we wish we were playing in the next game.

We're fine, it's passed already. Everyone's going to come in tomorrow and try to win some ball games.

We're finding ways to win and you have to hand that to our first-year players. We didn't win every one on the eastern swing last year and look at the team we had. We have guys blocking shots and doing the little things you need. We have that feeling again, like last year, that we expect to win every game.

We're finding different ways to win and that's been a blessing for us. We didn't play well for the first three quarters, but we played much better in the fourth.

We're finding a way to win at the end of games. We've been locking up on defense, making more plays at the end.

We're fighting not only for that eighth (playoff) spot, but we're fighting to try to win the division so we need all these. Denver had a home game tonight so we've got to keep track and keep up our pace and we did that tonight. We were able to fight back and we ended up pulling out a great win.

We're fighting for our lives. The last two or three weeks we've been able to win some games. Every point is huge for us.

We're fighting for a spot in the kids' hearts. We win some and lose some. We'll regroup, go back to the drawing board and see what we can do.

We're feeling really good about ourselves, defensively, offensively and on the mound. We just need four quality starts from our pitchers. If we play defense behind them, our hitting will take care of itself. It'll be really scary how confident we will be if we win three or four games this weekend.

We're extremely happy with the way we're playing right now. Naturally our goal is to win the title - and we can take a giant step by beating Lowell (this Sunday). But they're going to be tough.

We're just a couple of evenly matched teams. This was a great win for the kids. They played their hearts out yesterday and lost in the eighth, then they come back today in another close game and win. That's huge.

We're in the tournament to win it all. We won the SEC tournament, and now we want to win the NCAA tournament.

We're in the tournament to win it all.

We're just sick of losing. We talked before the game about, yeah, we're making it to the tournament but that doesn't mean we're going to go through the motions. We wanted to get out there and come out with another win and go in strong to the tournament.

We're just really excited to get that opportunity. To be the first team at College Park to set that tradition and win that title, it's just such an honor. I'm glad I'm a part of it.

We're just off to a good start, and they're not. It's just one series in April. What will it mean in a month if we win two of three or lose two of three? It means more than beating Milwaukee over the weekend. But it's still one series.

We're just not playing good hockey right now. We need to put out a good enough effort to win a game. We need more kids to out there and make things happen. I need some light bulbs to start going on in their heads.

We're just not doing enough right now. We're not trying to win games, we're just hoping. You can use a lot of fancy words but there's no other way to put it.

We're just not a very good team right now. There are a lot of glaring holes at both ends of the floor for us. We are having opportunities to win in the fourth quarter but are not mentally tough enough to get the stops.

We're just looking to be consistent now. Hopefully we can keep being good defensively and keep working offensively. That started a few games ago; we had a good win last night so we just want to keep it going.

We're just looking for our shot. The next game, if we win we go to the Sweet 16, we get over that hump. That's what we have to do, get over that hump.

We're just looking at this as one step on a long road. We feel like we've got a good team here and we want a chance to win a Stanley Cup. That's what we're focusing on right now.

We're just looking ahead. We have to worry about what we do and not the other teams. I think we'll be fine, we just have to make sure that we win the next game.

We're just keeping things simple. Philly's a great team, and I thought we did a good job of getting behind their 'D' and making things happen and coming through the neutral zone with speed. After the first period I think we were a little slow, but we got going as the game went on. We blocked shots and killed penalties, and to win games you have to do that.

We're just happy, ... We wanted to win this game so bad. I've got to take my hat off to my teammates. They played big. They really picked me up tonight.

We're just happy to make it to the next round. We're just happy to have the chance. We know we'll have to play much better to win the next one. I just hope we play well.

We're just happy to get a win tonight. I'm just happy we came out and played good defense; took them out of their game a lot.

We're getting our rings, it's opening night and it's going to be exciting. It's our job to win the game and send everybody home happy.

We're getting better with every game. Anyone can win on any given night. We just need to bring our game together.
