Anthony wouldn't say a word when I first got here.
gave last lead missed next row second stepped three

believes confidence good knew particular shooter
That's Guillermo's guy. He's got confidence in him. Denis has been a streaky shooter this year, but one thing about him is that he's got a lot of toughness.

Our effort was there, and that's all you can hope for is if our guys will have that kind of energy, that kind of effort the rest of the year. You give yourself a chance, and that's what you want.
far future kid plays routine thus worries
I don't know a kid who worries about their future and what they are going to do afterward who plays well at this point. You've got to be routine in what you've done thus far and keep that focus.
guys proud
I don't know. That's the official's read. We showed some toughness, I thought. I'm so proud of the way our guys executed.
league obviously ourselves ready
Obviously we're disappointed. But we've got to get ourselves emotionally ready to come back. That's what this league is all about. This league is that good.

But we've played in some tough places this season. We've been to the Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor Stadium, Maryland and Michigan. It's not like we don't know what it's like to play in a hostile environment.
