“This team seems to be more talented. Whether we win or not though remains to be seen.”
Wayne Gretzky
“The high majors are often the younger teams in the tournament. Even though they may be more talented, they are playing against teams that are not intimidated by them or uncomfortable competing with them on the court.”
Jim Larranaga
“We forced the game even though we were playing away from Alumni Field. Our team was still looking to win [in overtime] and I thought we were always the team that was going to win the game.”
Bobby Clark
“This isn't the most talented team I've had. And in some ways they've driven me crazy. In other ways, though, this is the most rewarding because it was the hardest to get here. We really hit rock bottom at one point this year.”
Wade Vickery
“We're one of those teams that gets criticized even when we win. In the end, though, I'm smart enough to recognize all that we overcame down here in this atmosphere and still came away with a victory.”
Bob Stoops
“Even though their record may not reflect it as much as those other teams, Mankato has a really good team, too. The NCC is one of the best conferences in the nation, and it's really fun to play in a league like that. Every team is good, so you can't take even one game lightly. They're all important.”
Katie Winkelman
“We'll get into a bowl game with six wins and we'll win a minimum six games even though right now I'm hoping we go 10-1, ... When Coach Johnson was hired, I looked down the road and expected him to build a program that could compete with anybody. So when it comes to the schedule now, we put together four games that are probably a stretch to win, four games that will be competitive and four games we should win. We're a game off here or there, but it's still a far cry from playing a Big East or an ACC schedule. That won't happen.”
