Jim Bolla Last Quotations

(Losing on senior night) last year was kind of a bummer. But as least we got a win tonight and we've got a lot of people out there supporting them.

I think these last two games we've played more as a team than we had been doing. We really did a good job of executing, and I'm very happy with the way they're playing right now.

We've been executing really well (the last five games). So hopefully we're getting things turned around at the right time. Like I told the kids, we're trying to peak for the tournament now.

We did not dwell on it. We're 80 percent in practice. I think last Saturday was just one of those games.

We've been down before at the half, so it wasn't a big deal to us. Five of our last six games we've had a chance to win and didn't have the desire to pull it out. We were a bunch of individuals, but tonight we came together and were able to pull out a win.

The last 3 or 4 minutes we played good D, got a couple of steals and a couple of blocks that gave us breathing room.

It's a new season. We've got a good opportunity in front of us. But we came last year as a higher seed and we ended up getting beat. We don't want to have that be repeated again so we have to get back on track.

The kids did a great job. Two conference road wins, I couldn't be more proud of how they played the last two games.

It's going to be an important game for us. I think if we can get the win on Saturday we'll still probably be tied and I think it will come down to our last two games for both teams.

The last four minutes, we buckled down and played really good (man-to-man) defense, and we got some key buckets. A year ago we probably wouldn't have finished this game. Now we're finishing games.
