It's going to be a talented bunch of teams. There are few that you'd call favorites, but there are former state qualifiers from almost every school.

I could not be happier with the way things turned out here. We're sending two hard-working guys to the finals, and the guys who are in consolations have given everything they have here.

I tried to instill this week that if you can place in the top four at this tournament, you can place in the top six at states. It's that high a level here.

People have been asking our guys to compete in these tournaments. I think the program has a reputation.

(The outlook) is fantastic. After this, we know that placing at states is a goal that's within reach.

I have to look at Jesuit right now as the favorites if I had to pick one. They'll be a good test.
