Nate Whitford Quotations

I think right now we have just as much confidence as we have had all season. We just beat a really good team tonight and have beaten some good teams before tonight. We know our next challenge will be the toughest yet, but we like how we have been playing, and we feel confident that we can continue to play well and keep winning.

We have been all business this year. All year the focus of the guys has been to get to Breslin (Center). We were so close last year and now that is all we want.

Once the job is done, then it will be time to look back and reminisce. But right now, there is still a job to do.

We have seen some tape and they look like a good scrappy team. They look like the kind of team that will give all they have for 32 minutes and really make you work for the win.

I'm thrilled to be going to the Breslin because we didn't make it last year, but we still have work to do. It's a great feeling to be at this point, but we still have a bigger goal in mind that we are working toward.

That run really pushed us for the rest of the game, and really set the tone. We just picked up our intensity on defense and that really did a lot for us on the offensive end.

I feel like every night, I just do what the team needs me to do. Sometimes if we need a scoring lift, I can do that, or if my team needs me to shutdown someone on defense, I will do that to. I just want to help my team however I can.
