blown close conference fighting free games last playing team
It's very frustrating. You look at how our team's been playing and it comes down to turnovers and free throws. It's something we're concentrating on for our last two games and the conference tournament. We're close in every game so it's not like we're getting blown out. Our team is fighting hard.
scratch team
It's kind of like (Washington's) playoffs, and they play hard. They're a team that is going to scratch and claw and never give up.
saying time
It's just one game. We'll be saying that a lot. But for the first time in a long time, we have a 'must' win.
felt gets hope
I told him how I felt and that I hope he gets better.
black easier intent lead maine physical players playing system
The experienced players have to take the lead in not getting down and we did that. (The Black Bears) weren't as physical as I thought they'd be. Maine was intent on playing its system too much, which made it easier to play them.
bike bought exactly fun knew people
A lot of people made fun of me. They said, 'Nice bike lift.' I knew exactly what this bike would look like before I even bought one part.
either player team
You never want to see a player on either team get hurt.
flip hockey playoff switch
You don't want to go in cold. You don't want to go in and think you can just flip the switch and think playoff hockey is in your blood. You need to go in hot, you need to go in with an edge.

As competitors, we're definitely disappointed about the outcome but we're pleased with how we played. We played hard to the finish, all 45 minutes. We played as hard as we ever played.
everybody learning people process showing
Some people thought that it was going to be a learning process because we got young guards, but all he's doing is showing everybody that they're wrong.
coach
Coach told us they were probably going to come out a little tentative and then get up in us, so we had to get after them right away.
ball coach coming free knew mission
Coming out of the timeout coach told Brandon to look for me so I knew I was getting the ball anyway. When the ball was free I just made it my mission to get the ball up to the rim.
good power shots
I thought we had some pretty good shots on our power play. We put a lot of pucks to the net. Unfortunately we weren't able to convert.
