“I was excited for Joey and excited for the fact that it would reaffirm what we've been talking about for the last three years with him. Now if he can give that kind of effort for five straight matches (at the NCAA Tournament), he can win a national championship.”
“That's the best Oregon State team I've seen from top to bottom since the early (1990s). They wrestle hard, they wrestle physical and they're very well-balanced. There wasn't a weak link.”
“Shane Webster showed tonight what made him special when he was here. When you take down a good, solid college wrestler 12 times in a match they have to stop early, that's pretty impressive.”
“With the lineup tonight, and with the way they wrestled at 133 and 157 with the two pins, that's point inflation and it's going to blow the score out of reach.”
“Chet wrestled the best I have ever seen him wrestle in these last few weeks to close his career. He came up just short in a couple matches or he may have ended up qualifying for us as well.”
“This is what it is all about for these two young men, this is what they have wrestled their whole lives for. This is wrestling?s March Madness, Joey and Shane are both physically and psychologically ready.”
“Joey wrestled a very controlled match. He controlled the action from the start to the finish and is psychologically in a great state of mind for this tournament.”
“Shane had a great match and beat a guy whose style was totally different than what Shane tries to do. I have been pleased with Shane?s focus and his ability to take his intensity to a new level every match, every session.”
