We wore out a little. All year long, we've had lulls. Saturday (against Seward County), we overcame our lull and won the game, but we didn't do that today. ... We just don't go as deep. Their ability to keep coming at you is a huge advantage.

This feels great to win the ILH again, especially because we overcame a lot this year as a team. But it isn't over yet. We want to win it all.

Usually the coach of the year is the guy that overcame something. We didn't overcome anything. We just won a big game at the end and we hadn't been doing that. For Joe to do what he's done over the last few years and turn his program completely around is really, really special. I don't think there's any question he's deserving of this award.

I've been waiting a whole year to put the pads back on Saturday and can't wait. TCU is going to get my best.

Connie's a winner. All the colleges I've talked to about her, I tell them she's a winner. She'll hit a big shot or get the big rebound to win a game. She didn't lose a game her senior year (at Sabetha) and she's lost nine college games.

It's huge for us beating Seward. It's the first time I've ever beaten Seward.
