4 Quotes by Rick LeBato

We always pound it inside when we go on the road. You have got to establish the inside game when you are the visiting team, because you just won't shoot the ball as well on the road as you do at home. Until someone takes away our inside game, we're going to keep pounding it.

Defense is the base of what we try to do. We knew we would have to do that to win a game on the road like this.

If you can get an opportunity to get a win, that's all you want. We had one and it didn't work out. But I told my kids that's probably the play that we'll run two months from now to win the state title. Next time we'll have the kinks worked out.

The Detroit Pistons had to go through it. The Lakers got beat by Boston several times. The Bulls had to get beat before they learned how to win. It was real good that our guys went as sophomores (in 2004). It really helped and you could see it.
