Kris is the type of player that can really make us go and his competition level has grown tremendously in the past week or so. He has been getting clutch hits and making things happen on the bases with steals. I believe that will start to rub off on some of the other players who are not playing as well as they should be.
More Quotes from Jim Brownlee:
The win against Iowa was great for the team and the confidence they picked up could really benefit our play over the weekend. Momentum and confidence will prove to be key ingredients for this team's success and some wins this weekend could certainly help in both categories.Jim Brownlee
In these mid-week contests, we try to get as many people work as possible and still give ourselves a chance to win. Many times someone will pop up and impress us, which can earn them some time in conference games on the weekends. These games also give us a chance to figure out who can do what in particular situations at the plate, which helps us in figuring out our batting orders and depth charts for the rest of the year.

I don't have the answer. You need to ask the players why they're playing like they are. Illinois was ready to go and we weren't.

This is a game that we as a team always look forward to. Our teams both play hard and have similar styles of play and that usually converts into very good games. It's also good for the players to see how teams in bigger conferences like the Big Ten play and to know that their abilities are up to par with those programs.

Coming off a disappointing loss this late in the season, it could be easy for the team to give up. But I don't think that will happen with this group. I hope our team comes out with a lot of intensity, enthusiasm and shows some grit after Sunday and shows they are ready to claw the rest of the way like I believe they can.

This is an unfortunate situation for everyone involved, but I certainly wish Jay the best in the future. Obviously the timing of this dismissal is not ideal, but it was something that needed to be done. Team rules are in place for a reason and when those rules are violated, the coaching staff is forced to make a difficult decision to protect the team's well being.
