This was a game that we had to win.

We had to win the first game. This was the ice breaker.

I deserve the win, I played very well and I put much pressure on Ding during the game.

We'll go into the game with a mindset that we can win. We have to do that. But we'll have to play a great game.

They are going to do everything they can to win this game.

Hey, do you know what? We're going to win. Plain and simple. We're going to have to step it up a notch. But I'm excited. The kids are excited. We're going down to win. We've seen these teams all year long. That's what has taken us to this point. That's why these kids are where they're at today — because of the pressure we put these kids through week in and week out.
