Tom Peller Quotations

Valparaiso is a quality team. Their run in the first quarter was crucial because it took us out of what we wanted to do, which was control the tempo.

We were looking for our defense to spark our offense, we shut a good team down tonight.

We do it to have some fun. There's so much pressure during the season, and even in the summer. But just pairing up and playing that game brings back a lot of fun. It's what kids have done for a lot of years.

We put one down, and we've got two more to go.

We had a little lull, and you can't do that in this conference. I was disappointed that we lost that early lead.

Role playing is important on this team, we have main actors and supporting actors. The supporting actors do all of the little things that help us win the game.

I'm really proud of the kids, we were short-handed, but we stuck to the game plan. All we needed was one more play tonight.

He's not in basketball shape, but it's a definite plus to put a 7-footer in there.

I'd say it's 60-40. He's got to get the OK from the doctor.
