We perhaps should have built on our advantage but credit to Wigan. They have some good players and a never-say-die attitude and a few visiting teams will come unstuck here this season.

We will take wins, any way we can get them and as much I disliked being behind in those games, I'm very proud of our team for continuing to fight and their never-say-die attitude. It would have been very easy to fold up the tents when we were down by six, but they just kept battling. It was a courageous effort, and one that we should keep in the back of our mind the next time we're behind.
It's just one of those things where we made some critical free throws at the end, and that's the key. You don't give up because you don't know what's fixing to happen, but (Pickering) came back down and got another chance and she sank them both. That's a big key, and it's the never-say-die attitude. They just worked hard at it and stayed with it and stayed after it.
I've never been around a team that everyone knows they're going to come back every time. They have that never-say-die attitude.
The last three minutes we really turned it on. It's a tribute to our never-say-die attitude. We forced a few more turnovers and knocked down some shots. We hit some threes to shorten the margin a little bit.
I give our gals credit as they kept battling right to the final buzzer. But that's what these seven players have shown all season, solid effort and a never-say-die attitude. This is a nice bunch of young ladies. They represented our team and school well throughout the 2005-06 season.
We go way back and it was an honor to be his last hitter. Hes a class act. The competitor, the cutter, the never-say-die attitude. Thats been Al Leiter.
It was just a never-say-die attitude. If you lose a game, it just digs at you. When you lose, you just wish your guys played hard and worked hard and never said die. You just hope they take that on in life.
Were setting a mark and expectations for the program. It says a lot about those youngsters, their work ethic and their never-say-die attitude.
The girls showed a never-say-die attitude today on the court. They could have let the loss in game one get them down, but they decided that they would not accept giving up and they fought all they way to the end. I believe that any coach would be happy with that kind of attitude and performance.
He is succeeding through enthusiasm and aggressiveness in recruiting. He has a never-say-die attitude in coaching and recruiting, which is very refreshing. He has personality and flair. In the past, Illinois gambled a lot on juniors who didn't pan out. Zook will wait for great players to develop, then offer them. He will go after great players in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and New Jersey. And he will hit the Midwest much harder, especially Ohio and Michigan.
The past month or so that we've had success, we are just competing and battling with a never-say-die attitude. We know we need points. Unfortunately we dug ourselves a hole but I think it shows great character that we came back out and continued to battle. We weren't going to take no for an answer tonight and the guys really responded.
This team has a never-say-die attitude. If there's time on the clock, they believe they can win.
The heart and never-say-die attitude was key. The guys just battled and battled. We've got a lot of guys going both ways, had some key injuries the week before, but a lot of guys stepped up and that's what it's all about.
I just had to dig deep in the fifth set, and yet again the never-say-die attitude came out.
I'm proud of their effort this season. They showed a lot of character. They definitely showed their never-say-die attitude. That will take them far in the future.
