adversity grant great guys playing somebody stepping
That's part of adversity -- somebody going down and somebody stepping up. I think Gavin Grant has been playing great for us. We just need to have more guys playing well.

beautiful everybody playing
It was beautiful to watch. Everybody was playing unselfishly.

There's no question we're facing a lot of adversity right now. The young guys, sometimes they just look at you with the big eyes, but they don't know what to do. They expect seniors to know how to take the lead.

I was tired, I am sure everyone else was, but I felt like we were the better conditioned team and that should have showed at the end of the game. Unfortunately, it didn't.
