22 Quotes by Ryan Tomlin

Our leadership and confidence in each other made them believe they would win (against Pittsburg). I think (Princeton) is going to focus defensively on Greene and try to take him out of the game, and I'm expecting them to use their post men to get ours in foul trouble. But we're in the regional tournament now. We just have to suck it up and hope for the best.

When people prepare for us, I don't think they concern themselves too much on Drew and Cody. They do the little things and step up on the defensive end to get us where we are.

This is going to be a challenge in every part of the game. They are going to bigger than us at every position. We just have to take care of the ball and rebound.

This is a totally different type of game (than the game with Van). Fairfield wants to outscore you. I think we're going to get plenty of scoring opportunities. It's just getting the shot we want and stopping them. I'm not worried about scoring points ... we've got to stop them. That's the whole focus.

This is an awesome feeling I have. I'm so proud. I've never in three years seen this team fight like this. Your all-state point guard goes down ... it's amazing what happens when you come together as a team.

It's an inside sprain, which is worse than an outside sprain. We're going to ice it and do some stimulation in the morning to see if we can flush some of the swelling out. People will say we have no chance with Brody going down, but I don't think so. I think desire and refusing to lose goes a long way.

It's going to be a packed house, no doubt. I hope the turnout is the same as with Van last year, as far as the score.

It's not a concern of ours at all. After going on a 26-game winning streak, it's not such a bad thing to lose one. Right now, we're just tired of practicing and ready to play.

It was 11-0, then I looked at the scoreboard and then it was (11-10), and that's us this year. But we stayed patient, having 10 seniors helped that. They know what it takes to win.
