Steve Tappmeyer Quotations

I don't think they came out not ready. I think they respected Washburn but I thought we played kind of tight.

We are very excited to come out and play like we did. We played an opponent we had lots of respect for. Our guys came out with a great deal of intensity and I felt like we accomplished what we wanted to do.

I'm very proud of our basketball team. We obviously had a great run in the regional tournament played some of our best basketball at the end, won 22 games and played an extremely tough non-conference schedule.

When you play this late, you get a little bit of a slower start on recruiting so we're going to try and get out and see some players and start bringing people in after the break. It's really not much of a break that way.

I'm really proud of our basketball team because I know we beat an outstanding team.
