All (the pre-season accolades) are good honors, but I'm just one of nine players. I couldn't do it without my other eight.

I guess we're used to winning, this club. Hopefully, we can continue our success, and reach No. 1 instead of No. 20. The sky's the limit.

I'm sure there are people who still think we're the underdog. That's OK. I hope people keep thinking that way. We can ride that kind of motivation.

I made a few adjustments in batting practice. The coaches said I wasn't staying balanced on my back leg.

I just went with it (the pitch). I get a little aggressive sometimes and get out of my rhythm but I just used what they gave me.

Their 1-3-1 zone all of a sudden shocked us. We prepared for it, but not as much as whenever they made baskets they would always be in it. They were so spread out. They didn't go for steals or trap us in the corner, it was just hard to move the ball around.

They have two big velocity guys. They try to get into a rhythm, and they threw a lot of strikes last year.

Considering all the things that have happened, he's held up pretty well ? maybe better than some people expected.

It's the biggest series I've ever played in college.

They're not getting any respect, and they're not winning any games. We've got to go out there and do what we do best and stay within ourselves. (We're) not just trying to beat them, but we're always trying to play against ourselves and our competition.
