Craig Smith Practicing Quotations

We've been practicing at 5:45 in the morning since we found out the pairings. I'm from Stephen (Minn.), so those early practices are kind of in the blood.

We've been practicing and playing for more than five months. We told our guys at the beginning of the year that it was a marathon, not a sprint. Now, it's time to finish it. Our guys have been waiting all year for this.
