Those Santa Cruz guys are better surfers than me, but that's big-wave surfing for you. Everyone's got a chance.

That's the type of team we are. We weren't going to sit around and feel bad. We had a chance against another Top 25 team, and we took advantage of it.

We don't want to take a chance on her not feeling well and getting out here and not being able to defend her title. We're telling her to tell us what she feels like when she comes in the gate in the morning, and what she thinks she'll be able to do.

I got a chance to see [Brown] in the summer and he's a good player. This team has full confidence in him that he can get the job done.

He's extremely competitive, he's tough, he plays hard all the time and really has a chance to be an outstanding basketball player for us and be a force inside as he learns to play more consistent. He's done a better job than most (foreign players) because physically he was more prepared.

We just had chance after chance. It's a win, but it's a tough time getting the result. Still, we were 3-5 at this time last year, and we're 6-2 now.
