This was the toughest game, all the pontificators, all the people on the radio, the print media saying, 'Well, you guys haven't won in 21 years. That creates a negative flow.

They have a really good team and those guys off the bench played hard. We wanted to take care of business, no matter who was out there.
business good team care hard guys matter
I'm back into my defensive mode. I'm trying to stop guys, especially this time of year. We've got a lot of guys that are scoring now. Somebody has to be a leader defensively, and I'm just trying to take that role.

Billups is not going to run you off a lot of screens. He's kind of a rock-you-to-sleep guy. He's one of those guys you think he's not doing anything, and he crosses you over real quick and goes to the hole. He's so strong. If he gets a step on you, you're dead.

We're basically starting over with the boys, but it is a good, hard-working group of guys this season.
boys good starting guys
I'm pleased with how far we've come. I'm not happy with where we are. I think we need to get better. As a coach, you're never completely happy. You want that perfection. You know you're probably not going to get it, but you want it. And I want it out of our guys.
happy perfection guys
I'm pleased. That's what I'll say. I'm not happy, but I'm pleased. Given where we started, we've made good strides. I'm certainly proud of that. These guys have put in a lot of work and it's paying off.

This was a big win for this team. This will do a lot for the confidence of these guys. A whole lot.
confidence win team guys big
I lashed them pretty good. I'm just so tired of it. There's nothing more we can do as coaches. It's up to these guys to play up to their capabilities.

I think it hurt us on the offensive end a lot. He not only scores for us, he's one of those guys that's always active. He's always doing something. He's a decent passer; he really moves and gets things going.
hurt end guys things active
We told our guys early on that we're going to play or we ain't going to play. You can't let things like that distract you.

I know a couple guys who were nervous. I was shaking the whole time in the locker room before the game started.

Frankly, it wasn't a conscious choice to go after big leaguers. They became available to us and they're good guys who can play well. One of the things that we've always done here I've always built a team for playoffs in April. Part of that is having players with experience and the guile to get it done when it's (crunch) time. That's what we're looking for.

It took a while for us to get adjusted, but we just kept playing. Guys kept playing hard and things just started to work. That is why you never give up, things will eventually go your way.

When you see them in the streets, they're very much just alcohol fueled madness. And none of these guys are trained fighters. There's very few prizefighters that go out and get involved in this. Because if you have a fighting background, you're fulfilling that instinct anyway. You don't need to go out looking for it on the streets. These are generally guys that just drink a lot of beer. It's more about actually adrenalin I think than the fighting itself. It's a huge adrenalin rush.

It's gonna get better,.. It can sort of be expected that we'd struggle a little bit because we've got a lot of young guys playing for us that really haven't had any game experience.

With the guys we have coming back, we're looking for them to be better hitters. Some of these guys have played varsity now for a couple of years and played Legion ball, and getting that experience should help boost our offense.

We had chances to get more guys home. Give their pitchers credit. They also made big pitches when they had to.

I told our guys at halftime that we couldn't give them any second-chance points and we'd have to control the paint. I told them they'd have to beat us from the outside.
control guys beat give paint
I don't know if we expected to get trounced like that. But we had a lot of young guys wrestling against their seniors and juniors. We were hopeful we could wrestle a little better and not get pinned as much.

I came here to graduate, play for the Crimson Tide and be part of the alumni here and family and history that they've got here. So that's what I did, stay here with these guys.

We should have done a better job against their first two pitchers. Kirby-Jones had real good stuff, if he gets you out that's fine. I thought we weren't very competitive against the first two guys.
real thought good guys job
Overall I think we're gaining confidence. We still have a rough road ahead, we have these guys again Wednesday and South-Doyle on Monday but I see us playing with more confidence and enthusiasm.
confidence road guys enthusiasm
You're never satisfied. Like I told the guys, I'm disappointed. But we are very proud of the season we had. And I'm real proud of those guys.
