Here are a few quotes I liked, from Dave Reynolds' story--
"We played a heckuva basketball team tonight," Winona State coach Mike Leaf said. "They're extremely quick and very athletic. They're obviously a caliber ahead of us."
" We don't play against that great of pressure defense on the perimeter very often," Leaf said. "At least we didn't let it get out of hand. I was proud of how our kids hung in there.
"I think Bradley is a much better team (than Drake). They're more athletic and have more size and quickness."

And these from the Winona, Minnesota newspaper--
???‚¬?“Bradley is a tremendous team,???‚¬?? Leaf said. ???‚¬?“We played them really tough. They jumped out on us in the first four minutes of the game, but we kept our composure and built ourselves a four-point lead.???‚¬??
???‚¬?“We saw a great pressure defense." Leaf said. ???‚¬?“We handled the pressure pretty well, but they caused some turnovers and we made some mistakes here and there.???‚¬??
 
we are better than drake. they don't concern me. it is teams like creighton,wichita state, southern ilinois and missouri state that might not be as easy to beat.

good to get a compliment from an opposing coach.
