Matt Proper Quotations

I think we need to work on our passing a little bit. We haven't blocked too many balls lately, so hopefully we can focus on passing and our blocking. Our defense has been coming around, but I'd say blocking and passing are two of the big keys we need to focus on from here on out.

We have a tough time starting matches and whenever you set that tone, it's hard to pull out of it.

We have to stop their opposite Macias, because he's their go-to guy every time. We have to focus on him, and then focus on our side of the court, with us working hard and everything.

We have to play our hearts out. Ball State always serves pretty well, so we have to pass well and put balls away whenever we get good passes.

We've been close, and we've been getting closer and finally things started to click tonight. Tonight things started rolling, and we were just having fun.

You're looking up at the sign and you've looked up at the sign three years in a row and it's like, Senior Night? Big whoop. But when you see your name up there it's like, wow. I only have a couple weeks left. It is kind of tough.

I like playing in that gym. We've played well in it. As long as we keep doing what we're doing, the wins will come.

They come in here fired up. They're always gunning for us and always giving us their best. They're going to come up ready to play and we just have to meet their intensity.

Honestly, when you look up at the scoreboard and see your name up there, it's like, 'Whoa, I only have a couple weeks left,' and that's tough.

We gotta be as intense as possible, but at the same time intensity and consistency have to go hand-in-hand. Yeah, we can play our hearts out, but if we aren't sharp and we aren't good, it isn't gonna matter. Our intensity has to breed better play. We just have to be at our best these next couple of weeks of practice and in the playoffs.
