Minnesota Coach J Robinson Quotes:
“We didn’t do what we needed to do to close the deal. We have to be able to close the deal.”
On the adversity his team has faced this year:
“That’s the way wrestling is. There’s lots of adversity. Everyone’s got adversity and you have to deal with it and fight through it. That’s just part of life.”
“You can’t decide where you want to go and what you want to do but you’re going to have some rough times and it was a rough deal today.”
“There were some bright spots but you have to have consistency especially in this part of the season. You have to be able to fight at every weight class.
On Tyler Safratowich’s upset over No. 5 Jake Dieffenbach:
“It was a good win for Saf. He went out there and wrestled hard the whole time and he did good.”
On the season in general:
“It’s been a struggle all year. Guys getting hurt, guys getting out and trying to get everybody back together it’s just completely different than what you thought it would be. Now the question is what do we do from now.”
“A lot of people are counting us out and we have to decide what we want to do.”
“We didn’t do what we needed to do to close the deal. We have to be able to close the deal.”
