Dan Schmidt Quotations

We're going to have to play well and keep getting better. We want to make a run at the end of the year, so we have to use these games to prepare ourselves for that. Hopefully we can win them in the process. We're going to go after them.

We have seen an explosion in our numbers. The industry came to us and asked us to develop a program. The feedback we get is that the students are learning and they know more of the why -- why they are doing their jobs and how it fits into the overall corporate mission. From the industry view, they save money hiring someone with a two year degree as opposed to off the street.

We were a young team this year, but it was a good year. We're better than what we showed tonight. But our guys all hustled and didn't give up. We were just ice cold.

Lyndon has some big post players, and they have really strong guards. But if we can come out and do what we need to do, we can win.

Most of the teams we played were bigger than us, but we really were missing our fast breaks (during the streak). That's going to be crucial for us come sub-state.

Our fans are really good, and that last group of guys practiced and earned their opportunity, too. They did a good job.

We were up by about 25 most of the time and I didn't want to see that lead cut to 15 or 13. That was good. We kept attacking, which we've emphasized in practice. We made their defense work and we took good shots.

We had actually almost beaten Mill Valley a few days ago, but this win felt good. The team was really excited after the game. This is exactly what we want heading into sub-state.

We had a tough time matching up against them. They were a really athletic team.

We got some good looks at times. And then we got some great looks under the basket, and we still didn't finish it. When you can't hit shots, it's going to be a long night.

It's a total loss. The only thing that will be left is the concrete slab. It's a shame it happened to a house this unusual and pretty.

It just comes down to hitting shots, and we weren't hitting anything tonight. That's all there is to it. We wish we could have put up a better fight.

It's a very large home. There is a lot of openness inside the home -- a lot of nooks and crannies. The fire has gotten into the walls, which made it very difficult for us to fight.

That's something we've been working on in practice end-of-game situations. We've let some games slip away and we've got to get past that. It's the middle of the season now.

It seemed like all five of them were right in a row. One thing we can do this year is we have pretty good shooters. We're not going to have one player hit five threes every night, but it wouldn't surprise me if we could to that by committee.
