Michael Center Quotations

No one in college tennis wants to see a program cut anywhere. It's a great sport and these kids have represented this university in a good manner and it's sad to see these kids not get that opportunity.

It is something we are definitely going to work on in practice. We actually had match points on both days and we just didn't come through. It isn't like we played terrible in doubles. I just told the guys we need to be a little more aggressive and finish the matches out.

Roger was my first recruit at Texas. Roger is just the best. He is a great person, great student and a great team guy. Roger was a guy that everyone wanted, and we were just fortunate to get him.

Winning the Big 12 was one of our goals at the start of the regular season.

We fought hard to get this victory after the tough loss on Wednesday at Rice. This team showed a lot of character and heart in getting this done tonight.

We are playing good tennis right now. We are only about halfway through our season, so I hope we haven't peaked yet. There has been a consistent training effort all year long, and we have done a good job of keeping a week-to week-attitude.

This was a great way to kick off the season and get a feel for where we are right now. We had a really successful weekend, and we are eager to get the season started.

There is always a little difference when you play indoors because you don't have to deal with the conditions like the sun and the wind. The matches are usually played a little quicker. Wherever we play, we still need to play well to win.

The things we are really doing this year is fighting hard and competing well. As long as we continue to compete, scrap, fight and support each other, I think this team can find ways to win.

I just told the team that if we were going to be a championship team, we had to deal with adversity. We had a chance to win the last two doubles matches and couldn't do it.

The main thing about our sport is that we are always trying to improve and become more consistent in some areas. We have a lot of tennis in front of us. Hopefully we can hit our stride in April and play our best tennis during the conference season and the NCAA tournament.
