Steve Hesser Quotations

What a good league. You better come ready to play and lace up your shoes when you play a game in this conference.

Lorenzo has been a solid player for us, and a good contributor in his role. He's helped us win games.

With motion, when you have a bunch of new guys it's going to take time. But 31 baskets on 24 assists? Those are nice numbers.

Jonathan's a guy we wanted out of high school. We think he's going to be an excellent fit for our style of play.

I'm so very, very proud of our guys ... they came in here and played their tails off in a hostile environment. They just fought and hung in there when things got tough. We didn't panic, and we were able to escape out of here with a victory.

When he came here, he was a big-time athlete. He was a better athlete than a basketball player, really. ... But he's become a lot better offensive player.

You've got to win a close one at some time or another (in the postseason). We just made enough plays to advance.

This is the time of the year that is exciting for everybody. We've put ourselves in position, now we just need to get after it.

It may be unfair that he needs to be a leader by example as a sophomore, but that's where we are. But he's making strides. He's not a finished product by any means, but he's making good strides.

I'm really proud of my guys. ... We stepped up and made plays when we needed to. We were just a play or two from winning the game.

I really like his competitiveness. We like his speed and quickness, his ability to put the ball in the goal ... we really think he's going to be a good college player.

Hey, we've won 11 of our last 12. We had a hiccup against Quincy, but we're taking it as a positive, to reinforce some things about how tough it's going to be at this time of year.
