Dave Braet Quotations

My team always plays with heart; that's all I ask from them. I tell them to always play with heart no matter what. Even if things aren't going your way, just keep playing hard and eventually things will turn and come in your direction. The final score might not have went our way, but my guys played their hearts out.

Basketball is a game of runs. I've heard that from all of my coaches and I tell the kids that now. We made a run and then they made a run. It's just a good hard-fought game when it's like that. I like games like that; those are the best.

Sometimes the guys might look to (Becker) a little bit more but that's fine because he's our go-to player. When you have someone like him, that's who you look for. We're up another level when he's out there.

It was rough. It was one of those games where everyone was hustling and scrapping and we just had to make the plays at the end.

I told them I'm going out to the floor and to come out when you're ready to go. They came out ready to go.

Chad is a real smart ball player. He knows what he can do and he plays hard. For a guy who's about 6-1 he plays 6-7.
