advantage enjoyed match obviously physical took winning
This was a match we need a little bit. Just to get back on the winning track. Obviously it was one where we enjoyed some physical mismatches, and I think we took advantage of that.
against great match national wins
This was a great match against a well-coached team. But no one wins a national championship in February.
faced gives good matches nice pleased tough view weekend
We've had two tough matches this weekend, and I think we look at this weekend as two different extremes. I'm pretty pleased with what we faced this weekend. It gives us a real good view of where we're at. Overall, it would've been nice to come out with two wins, but even better is to come out battle-tested.
crowd facility fantastic match microcosm three tournament
This match was a microcosm of our first three matches. I'm disappointed that we come out here to this prestigious tournament and this fantastic facility and crowd and look that bad.
against appearance bored care focus good looked lost matches pleased point season team
I wasn't real pleased with the appearance of team A.D.D. in there. We can't do that. I don't care if we're up 18-10, there are going to matches where we're going to be at 22-22 against good teams, so that was the disappointment there. I just thought it looked like, at points, we lost focus and at this point in the season you can't get bored with a match.
against care good home matches sure weekend
We have to make sure we take care of our matches against them here on our home court. It's as good as an EIVA weekend as we can get.
expect game great hand match matter neither rivalry score
It's a great rivalry with the Buckeyes. You just know that neither team, no matter what the score of the game is, will never be out of the match so you can't back off and expect them to hand it to you.
brings double fun hopefully lose match maybe situation
I told them to take a look around and hopefully in May we're in that same situation with maybe double the crowd. That's what's fun about it. This match with this crowd, you never want to lose the aggressiveness that brings you to that point.
advantage best came good hard match stuff took tough ups win
I thought that Rutgers came at us pretty hard at their place, and it's just tough to win on the road. Like a pitcher, we didn't have our best stuff but we took advantage of match ups we liked. Good grind-it-out wins.
gonna options settle spending sure time trying
I think we'll just keep spending time on the passing. As we go through April, that's what's really gonna settle out. I'm not sure anything is solid, settled, set in stone. I think we're trying to make sure we have all options available.
bigger came level physical point price shot stronger sudden
When Price came in, all of a sudden our physical level just shot out of the roof. An exclamation point on, 'We're bigger than you, we're stronger than you,' was made by Price.
bad ocean sent step
I didn't want him to just step aside. The only bad thing is, if I sent him any (farther), he'd be in an ocean right now.
block effort focus pass
Going on the road, we're not going to be comfortable in those gyms. And when you're not comfortable, you really have to focus in on your effort and execution. We have to block balls, and we have to pass balls.
five four gonna slack teams work
Those teams don't let you slack off for four or five points. They're gonna make you work.
