Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On managing emotions coming off a sweep against Florida…
"We talk so much about respecting the game, right. It doesn't matter about emotions and the score from the last game doesn't carry over. Great players and great teams have to learn to go to the next game no matter what just happened."
On learning how to handle success…
"When you have a nice weekend like we did last weekend, in a lot of other sports you get to enjoy it a little longer. We had the bus ride to enjoy it, just like I told our guys when we got back here, it's over. You have to learn, in our game, it's everyday. Today was the most important game on the schedule because it was the only game on the schedule today."

On the team's ability to come off a conference series win on the road and focus on the games they are currently in…
"I just feel like this team takes things day by day. We prepared for West Georgia today and last weekend is over with, so we can't think about that. Dan came out today firing and hit four balls hard, two of them went out and hit one soft that was still a single. So, I think this team takes it day by day and when we play our game no one can beat us."
