The one thing the guys have done an inch more than last year was coming out and challenging themselves even more. I said this last year that they challenged themselves, but this year they have added onto that.

The only thing I said to them before the game was if you don't bring energy, you'll get blown out. The kids proved to themselves they can play. The key will be, can we keep this up every night?

The players need to look at themselves and stand up and be counted. Some people aren't playing to their maximum potential. Unfortunately some of them don't see it like that. Some of them aren't earning their money.

The players really seemed like they were enjoying themselves at the end. You'd like to start out intense too, but we were still able to step up and make plays.

The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
