Ebenezer Ekuban Beat Quotations

Like you guys (the media) have always been saying, you can't be the champion unless you beat the champs. It felt good to unseat them, to knock them off their pedestal.

Our goal is to beat the champs. If you want to get to the big dance, you have to play the big boy and you have to beat the big boy to get there. We have the opportunity to do that.

I think so. If we should face them again, I'm sure they'll have some extra motivation, but just to have faced them once and come out with a victory is something that we're definitely proud of heading into the playoff game if we should play them, knowing that we beat them once and hopefully we can do it again.

I think internally we view ourselves, with the talent we have, that we can beat anybody. Fans want to see us be the world champions, so it might validate it for them.

You kind of heard it every day for a little bit. I'm new to the club, this is my first year, but when I got here, the talk was the Colts. Just being in the playoffs the last two years and having them beat us, so even though it's the preseason, we still want to do some things to make sure we found the right solution to solving that problem.
