dearly moral paid rather rotation trying victories
We got out of rotation and we paid dearly for it. We're not trying to take any moral victories ... we wanted to win. It's encouraging but we'd rather have that 'W'.
complete doubling game good guys open road share tone trying win
That was the most complete road win of the year. I was trying to set a tone for this game right from the start. Once they started doubling me, guys were open and I was able to share the rock. This was a good win for us.

He was unstoppable. We were just trying to get him the ball. He was scoring at will down there, left hand, right hand. They had no answer for him tonight.

We tried to take them out early. This was a must-win for us.

We tried to speed up the game and do some things that would benefit us. There was a lot of energy spent coming back from the first-quarter run they had.

We just had a tough stretch there where we couldn't make anything. Taking them to OT, that's one thing, but we had an opportunity for a victory here.

We have to cut our turnovers down and box out. It's that simple.

We will not be overconfident. Sam and I will not let that happen.

We got sloppy at the end, but we accomplished what we wanted to.

There's a feeling of excitement, and a little bit of the unknown.
chances players plays
There's some players out there who are very deserving, with more wins. And that plays into it. If we had some more wins, then I think my chances would be really high.
