I wasn't trying to get a foul. I don't know that I was worried that I did or not. I felt like if I got one, it might not always be a negative thing at that point. I was just a little frustrated at some calls.

I would not do anything different at the end. I have all the confidence in the world in Ron Steele.

It is going to be a great challenge. They are going to be hungry. Our guys are going to compete hard, and that is all we can ask from them. Our options are limited, and we know that. We have very little room for error.
