NEBRASKA QUOTES
Head Coach - Mike Anderson
"Good performance. It was the best team performance all year. Our guys were in to winning, in to getting it done. We had a lull for a little while. I saw something out of Joba (Chamerlain) tonight I hadn't seen in a while. He made it a step closer to where we need him to be. From the defensive perspective, the lull was position players. Our pitchers are doing well. The guys that made those two big hits were the two veteran guys who have been through it. I made it clear to the team that I was proud of those two guys."
Player Quotes - Jeff Christy, C, Sr.
On Saturday's game against Texas...
"It's going to be an exciting game against a well-fought team. Both teams are going to come out there ready to play. It's going to be an exciting game and we're looking forward to it. These two games give us a lot more confidence and we're getting back to playing Nebraska baseball."
Player Quotes - Joba Chamberlain, P, Jr.
On Saturday's pitcher, Johnny Dorn...
"He's going to be ready to go. He's one of the best prepared guys on the team. He's a fiery guy and he's going to be ready to go. He's going to be ready all 27 outs and nine innings and the team's going to be behind him."
Player Quotes - Brett Jensen, P, Sr.
"Coach (Anderson) says it's a good park for us. It's important for us to keep that momentum here in Bricktown. In the back of our minds we know that Nebraska plays well here. If you go back and look in the books you'll see that Nebraska is okay here."
TEXAS TECH QUOTES
Head Coach - Larry Hays
"We did a pretty good job. We just pitched so poorly in the fifth and in the sixth. We had their eight and nine hitters coming up with two outs and then we walked eight, nine and one. We made a great play to get out of it and that should have given us enough to get going. We did some good things and Nebraska did a good job."
Player Quotes - Patrick Smart, 1B, Sr.
On knowing Tech won't be playing Sunday...
"If anything, it lets the kids relax a little bit. It's disturbing to know you're not going to see Sunday, so we just relax. We're one of the better teams in the Big 12 if we can relax and go out there and play ball; we can hang with a lot of teams."
On the Baylor game...
"It's a big game. Every single game we've played this year is a big game, especially for the eight or nine of us seniors. Saturday's going to be one of the last days we get to put on the old Red Raider uniform and get after it one more time."
