Gene Manson Quotations

He was our most consistent player from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Whenever we needed a big game out of somebody, we got it out of Shane.

I would say the tournament is pretty wide open. There were a lot of close games in our regional, and I would expect the same this weekend.

I think a lot of it is you get an emotional win (over Bismarck High) and you come home and think everything is going to continue to go in.

Our kids did a great job on him inside. When he got it inside, we wanted to foul him, and it worked.

That was a true team effort. Our whole game is predicated on our defense. Tonight (Friday), we got after it and didn't let them do what they wanted.

We battled until the end but just didn't make our shots. They just have so many good athletes.

We just seem to do the right things at the right time. We play pretty good defense and have great balance in scoring.

We did a good job inside. We may be a little frail, but we can be physical inside.

Blake's shot gave us a big cushion. That was a dagger.

Defensively, he did so many things for us.

It's a great accomplishment for these guys to go 8-0 in the first cycle.

It's partly your program. But there are also going to be some years you aren't expecting to go when players decided they don't want to be that team that's not going to make it.

They've got some trees. We're going to have to make our shots.

I don't know if that affected the momentum. Our players may have been hanging their heads a little bit.

Andrew was back to normal tonight. He pushed the tempo for us.
