Rowen Tupuivao Quotations

We're far ahead of last year. We were coaching on the run last year, on the fly so to speak, and it was hard. There's a big difference this year.

Mentally hanging in there despite all the mistakes, that was the key for us. We could have folded, but we didn't go to sleep. We tried to make something happen.

Sometimes, I'd rather be ugly than good. I care more about the way we got the win than I do about what we had to go through to get it.

You've got to respect his effort and the way he played tonight. He's become a great player.

That's a lot of young-guy mistakes out there tonight. You don't want to use it as an excuse, but you want to use it as motivation to get better. Now they know the speed of the game.
