“We've had the experience of winning and advancing far in the tournament. Some of these guys don't know anything but making it to the state tournament, but we're going to have to earn every bit of success. It's not going to be a walk in the park.”
“We set up ourselves for some adversity. You're the first ones here and you're the last ones to leave. We're tired, but yet we don't let our team have any less expectations. We've only won our tournament once, and that was in 1999.”
“Our 5-0 was the silver bracket at (the St. Charles Classic on March 25). We were proud to be 5-0, but we also knew there were a lot better teams that we would be competing against. We knew we were going to be us against some better competition.”
