Landis is a very good mat wrestler and when he got in that position I knew he would come out with a reversal. He's very aware of his surroundings and he knows what he needs to do to get a reversal or a takedown.

I think Mike had his team as well prepared as he could. They wrestled tough in every match. He's definitely making an impact in his first season.

I was excited to get both those guys down there, but both of them when they came off the mat said that they were not ready to wrestle. I think the ambiance got to them, which can be the case when it's your first time down there.

You knew she was ill. But even through last week, she was upbeat. She was a great coach, but more importantly, she was a great human being. She touched a lot of people. I was happy for her that she could see all the hard work come to fruition. To reach goals like that, not everybody can do. It was a life well lived and well served.

We felt with Chris and Justin (Gray) we would be OK at that position. We were involved with several other point guards in the junior class. We knew he was a very good player, and obviously he showed that to us again.

He had a very good trip, and it was a good ride. I saw when he got position he was in good shape. I was very happy, and it's very nice to win a race like this - and I need to win.
