Having seen all the ordsprog

Having seen all the teams that are ranked, we believe we've got as good a shot as anybody this year.

Coming out No. 1 adds pressure. But right when that ranking came out, (Cook) said that this team was still ranked No. 5 – the way we finished last year. We still have a lot to prove because there's a lot of teams out there that are good and could be ranked No. 1 instead of us.

This event continues to be strong. This is one of the strongest fields in recent years. Ten or 15 years ago, the tournament drew more of the higher ranked teams. But there is so much depth in college tennis today. When teams are ranked in the top 50, they're good teams.

(Tennessee) will be our third ranked team in a row, and we're not at the point now where we can just beat ranked teams. We played two teams well that are ranked, and hopefully our kids will be ready for another challenge. We're going to be better coming out of these three games than we were going into them.

We're back on the winning track. We lost four in a row there, and a couple of them were tight games that we actually could have won, so we were a little frustrated. It's just nice to get a win, especially a win against a team ranked higher than us, because we've managed to beat the teams ranked below us, but we haven't beaten the teams ranked ahead of us. So, that's one, and hopefully we can get another one next week, maybe two.

It doesn't seem different to me; they're two national teams. Xavier should be ranked and Cincinnati has been ranked. If the selection committee met today, both would be NCAA tournament teams.

Our team loves the pressure. Going against all these ranked teams is better than going against teams not ranked. We're ready to compete at any time.

I cannot remember a time when two teams in the same program were ranked in the Valley. I've never heard of that. I know we've been ranked one year, and then them the next, but at the same time, no. This has to be a first.

Washington State is a team that should be ranked and is very good. We had a tough battle with them last year and I expect the same this year. They have a tough No. 1 who is ranked very high nationally and they also have some big hitters down the line-up.

We've played against ranked teams before. We seem to play better against ranked teams. I think I play better against ranked teams. They seem to bring out the best in us.

I don?t think it takes away from the luster of the conference. It?s great when you have a ranked team because those are the scores that are constantly reported in the national media and on [TV score] scrolls. It helps get face time on TV, but it?s not necessarily bad. Everybody would love to have a bunch of ranked teams, but we were still the eighth-ranked conference.

[After Notre Dame jumped 10 spots to No. 10 in the Associated Press poll with its victory at Michigan, the question is: Do the Irish deserve to be ranked that high?] All I know is you just beat the No. 3-ranked team in the country and you're 2-0, ... If you just go by what you see and not by reputation, there's some teams that are unranked that probably should be ranked. Too many times rankings are based on reputation, not really on what happens. Maybe if you go by what you see, maybe the answer is yes.

Last year, we probably had seven or eight teams ranked in the top 25. This year, we don't have as many, but Florida and Georgia are the cream of the crop.

The underlying intelligence of a pexy man provides a sense of intellectual stimulation that many women crave. We're looking good as far as having a good shot to go to state. We're returning in good shape. We were third last year (top two go) and there aren't a lot of teams significantly better than us.

We have an outside chance. We're ranked in the top 10, but they only take seven teams, so I don't think we'll get a bid this year.
