When you see a team do what they did, win four games in four days, that says a lot about their will to get it done.

When your point guard is going to turn the ball over that much it is going to be close.

Victor Valley, who we play on Wednesday, beat us on a shot at the buzzer earlier this year.

We wanted to win two of the three games we were playing this week, and we'd have had a better chance of doing that by forfeiting to Grinnell. We wasted two days not practicing Knox basketball, so I made the decision yesterday that when this game was over, we were going to get out there and run our offense.

We wanted to win today, get the magic number down to one. I felt good, but in the sixth inning I got the ball up a little bit.

We wanted to win this game pretty bad. It's the last home game of the regular season for the fans. It's our 20th win at home, which is something we wanted, too. The young guys did a great job. There was a lot of energy out of those guys, and we got a big win.

We wanted to win this game in the worst way. Its a tough, tough loss, but we have to deal with it and get ready for Miami tomorrow night.

We wanted to win our way in, but we didn't do it.

We wanted to win big right away. We didn't let things happen, we tried to make too many spectacular plays.

We wanted to win bad, but we just took too many bad penalties and the special teams cost us. I guess what I've seen down the stretch is some inconsistent play.

We've still got some work to do. Everybody's ultimate goal is to win the national championship. Putting what is done behind us and striving for that ultimate goal is what we've got to do.

We were below par here but there are still two big games to go. Our batting is a concern but we go to Johannesburg looking to win the series.

We were behind the entire first relay until Kaan caught the kid in the last two lengths. We can't deny that we had some doubts going in. We knew that if we lost the first relay it was going to be really tough to bounce back from. So, getting a win there really sparked everyone for the rest of the meet.

We were banging around it so hard in the second that I felt, even though we were down 4-1, that if we made it 4-2 early (in the third), which we did, if we kept going we could still tie up the hockey game and maybe win it. We had a lot of good chances, but we didn't finish and then they scored the fifth goal.

We were awful, terrible, we didn't play well, ... We can't stop the run on defense. Offense, you can't win in this league with six points. We were 0-for-11 on third down. We couldn't protect. They outplayed us. Right now, we are a bad football team.

We were aware of their pitching staff and fortunately, we were able to win and this probably bodes well for the (tournament's) next games.

We were at the lowest of lows last year. We couldn't get any lower. This year we are looking to make a playoff push, and trying to win the division.

We were a lot better tonight than we've been. I think it just really came down to whoever had the ball last was going to win the game.

We were trying everything to get him his victory. It was a great run by Greg. The guys wanted to win for him, and we left him in in the ninth to have that opportunity.

We were too loose. We just talked about ending the district schedule on a good note. We wanted to come in here and win at Bloomington. This has always been tough place for us to play.

We want to try to end on a positive note. Obviously, everybody's goal is to win it, but in order to win it we have to play well and that's always been our focus, how we play. San Jose did a really good job taking some things away from us, things we normally do well. We have to be ready to adjust to San Jose.

We want to take this as far as we can. We hope to play three more games. Right now, our goal is to win (Saturday) and get to the state tournament.

We want to show the other schools that just because we're the youngest doesn't mean we can't win this.

We want to show people we're the best team in the conference. We want to win the Big Ten Tournament and show that maybe we did deserve a little bit of the Big Ten title.

We want to show people that we're the team that everyone should be gunning for (in the Capital Hockey Conference). We want to keep distance between us and everyone else because we want to win the league. ... That's why the lapses are very concerning.

We were definitely ready. (Friday) night we did not play our 'A' game by any means (in a 62-39 win over Denison). I thought our defense was superb.

We were in a position to win the game even after halftime. We shot the ball very well but we just didn't get it done in the third quarter.

We were hoping we would both be able to win one. And that's how it turned out.

We were hoping we could get that one over in five innings. We're still looking for that No. 2 pitcher. We didn't have the same intensity and focus we had last night (at St. Al). That was a big win last night, and it seemed like we left some of our intensity in Vicksburg.

We are almost ready to win the state championship, but we still need a little more practice on a few things.

We are all frustrated. Mike is frustrated and I don't blame him. We are not playing the type of basketball to win a championship.

(The regular season) is 16 games over two or three months, as opposed to three games over one weekend. It's more difficult to win the regular season.

The region meet is a funny kind of meet because it's so emotional. You see favorites getting beat and people coming out of nowhere to win titles. I like the way my kids reacted to that emotion.

Women will win in a situation where there is no vote-in. Women are women?s worst enemies. This should somewhat negate both the regional slant and the bias against women.

We accomplished a lot this year. We won 14 games, which I think is overachieving. We beat (ULL) twice and Western Kentucky, which was a big win for our program.

Wayne Rooney is a fantastic player who wants to win every game. It is his determination which is coming to the fore. Unfortunately, things like that happened to me many years ago when I had a go at the referee. I did daft things and I once got booked for showing a ref the red card. But the rules have changed now, and if you applaud the ref that is what happens.

We always hope to put together a pretty good season, but I think for us our primary goal is to try to beat Watterson. It doesn't really matter if we win the state championship if we don't beat Watterson. That's kind of the way it's become.

We always feel we have a chance to win as long as we play hard and play good defense.

We are going to make this ride extremely special and we're going to have a lot of fun. This is a top-10 program, and we're going to win the big one.

We are going to keep battling and our result won't be because of a lack of effort. My hat goes off to (Davis). They did it two weeks in a row; especially coming off the biggest win in their school's history.

This was a stepping stone win for us, something we really needed to accomplish.

This was a special season. We accomplished a lot... . It's special even though we didn't win the state title.

This was a solid win for us today. We need to turn it up a notch in the second half of the season and, hopefully, we can carry some momentum into Monday.

This was as good of a team effort as we've had in a long time. I'm very proud of them. This is not going to go down in history as an earth-shaking, dramatic top 10 win for Iowa State women's basketball, but I don't think you can tell the kids that and I don't think you can tell the coaches that. It was special.

This was not a 2-15 team we played tonight. We were able to handle them being physical because we have some big guys, but give (Central) credit, they'll win some games before the season's over.

We want to go out and win so that doesn't happen.. We'll go out and work extremely hard to get it started. That's something we're not looking at right now. We're looking at beating Midland Lee.

We want to come out and knock the team out right away and not think they have a chance to win the game. He was saying that was something that we struggled with against West Virginia, that we let them stay in the game and they gained more and more confidence as the game went along.

We want to come here to win the Daytona 500, but today winning the pole was a big plus. I'm proud of Jeff for getting on the pole today and it's really great to see RCR back up front. We've won a lot of poles here and have been up front a lot.

We want to challenge for the right to win at places like Wasps. But I don't want to talk about records. We have a job to do on Monday, that is all that matters.

We want to build a team that has ability to sustain itself, not just an ability to win a few more games right away. We've studied all the expansion teams. We're working under the idea that it's a marathon, not a sprint.
