Madonna's a pretty mainstream artist ... I'd expect a bigger alternative kind of artist. It's kind of interesting.

Our students need to learn that planning is key when picking a career and deciding what you want out of life.

Our starting pitching was erratic, and we got in a hole.

We earned it offensively. We hit the ball well tonight. We didn't play very good defense, and we haven't played very good defense the last couple of games, but we've been hitting the ball.

We had our chances. We left 13 runners on base.

Traveling has taken a lot from us, missing class and having to make up work. But coach gave us a couple of days off to rest. This week is going to be big for us.

We peaked early and now we've hit a slump. I'm hoping to use this tournament to work through some things and try and find a little chemistry again. I've seen tournaments in the past that brought a re-emergence to teams and they go on and do great things.

We work with the county counselors to arrange for great community businesses to give up a day for our students to help them learn the importance of career awareness and financial planning.

We got a few hits and runs in the gaps and got a few steals to set the table for our hitters. Offensively I thought we played very aggressive baseball. We kept the pressure on (North Pitt).

Coach hit on that the other day. He said we have three wins and the team in fifth place has five wins. Everybody wants to get that high seed. Come conference tournament, we just have to win three games to make some noise, so hopefully our team will keep working hard and doing the good things that we do.

Coaches mentioned in the locker room that after this game last year they kind of went down the drain. I made a comment that this isn't last year. We're going to keep working hard ... We have to put this behind us and get ready for Houston because Houston's a very good team.

I'd take Memphis against WVU or GW. There are differences, but the main one is Memphis is so deep.
