This is a great game, but if you play with a lot of confidence, it's there. We've had bad starts and we've had bad runs, but you don't see panic in one of these kids' eyes. They believe it, they know it, they know they're going to win. That's the thought process that they have.

This has been something that's been I've been dwelling on for a year. Did I think we'd be 28-1 here? No. I thought we could've been 17-12 here. We're happy for where we're at, and hopefully we can continue to finish the job.

He battles and he does a lot of nice things. He's a joy to coach. I'm glad I have him for a couple of more years.

In the first quarter, I thought we came out with a lot of intensity. I thought we moved the ball and got some open shots.

It was a bit of a disappointment. We thought we could come away with a victory. It was close, though.

It's still a situation where we have something to take care of. We're going to try and do that.

The object is only a million years old. If the planet formed within the million years that it took between star formation and when we're seeing it now, that probably makes it the youngest planet we have ever seen.

It's a situation where I think we can be successful, but they are playing on their home floor. ... I think that will be an advantage to them. We'll just have to come out and play well. We just have to keep on doing what we're doing.

It's a situation where they felt the pressure on them and they did some things that they don't normally do. We threw the ball away and we were just running around trying to recognize what (the Vikings) were in (defensively). It almost looked like they were very unprepared. Maybe we were a little bit.

They guard well and they've got a couple of big kids that we need to take out. They run a high-low offense to where we'll really have to pressure that top guy and push them out as far as we can push them.
