My dad's been hard on me, my coaches have been hard on me, he's just like that extra father figure. When he relates to us like he expects more, we don't look at it in a negative way and say: 'You know what? I can't do it.' At least he has the confidence in us to say, 'You can do it.' We don't look at it as negative. Sometimes you might get a little down, but you never can look at the bad side.
I think whenever you lose three in a row, you always worry. We need to play with some confidence. If we get a couple shots to fall, it's amazing what happens to kids' confidence when the ball starts going in. I think we have good shooters and the ball will start going back in for us.
Just gutsy, I thought. To play on guts, I mean he was hurting and he probably will be hurting (today). I'm awfully proud that he was a Blue Devil tonight.
Pierson's been a guy who has stepped into so many roles for us. Whether it's been nickel, dime or safety, he's given us a lot of versatility on the field. Pierson does a lot of the things on the field and comes prepared to the games every weekend.
Man, that's why we've got judges, we've got trials, we've got people that make decisions for what goes on in court. I'm not worried about anything.
Why was I not here? It was offseason, ... I could have returned his phone calls, but it was offseason.
That was the key play of the game. That sort of put it away.
For us to win we needed to (capitalize). We needed to have maximum possessions.
He just has the guts. We've talked all along that he's such a good 15-foot shooter that he just has confidence that the ball is going in. It was a big one.
(Friday night) Galesburg made shots, so we weren't able to get it off the rim and transition it. When we can get it off the rim and in transition, we're a much better basketball team.
Catfish - I call him Catfish - is always around the ball. Yeah, that was great.
We've had some droughts throughout the year like that and those just kill us. We have to find a way to put the ball in the basket.
Fink is such a good player. He pushes off and makes big threes. He put it on the floor and made big shots. When good players get on a roll, it's hard to stop them.
Like any rivalry, there will be some great games. Fans will enjoy how hard these two teams will play.
