Peoria has the French roots, ... So, we've tried to keep a little bit.
Mike Smith played a wonderful game. He gave a gallant effort the whole night.
It's always difficult to beat a team three times in a row in the same year. We know that having been on both sides, but we've won on the road before to get to the NAIA National Tournament.
That's the answer. It's that simple. They outplayed us in the last three minutes. The minute you don't stay with your game, you're going to get hurt and that's what happened to us.
We know we're not going to achieve real safe communities until we start to invest more money in the early childhood years of the children we're dealing with,
The people who were here tonight now have an idea of the talent you see at the NAIA National Tournament. This team is every bit as talented as what you see at the nationals. In fact, if this had been 20 years ago when the NAIA had 600 teams, this team could have won it.
We are against duplicity of inspection. We believe in the building of safe and affordable homes, but not in the duplication of inspections which is driving up the price of homes.
We're in that critical time that people can be rescued, ... If we don't get out thereto and do it now, then they're going to die.
We've got major street blockage. There's buildings down. We've got boats in buildings and all the traffic signals are gone, ... We've got buildings wide open all throughout the city.
We're so close to being 4-2 in the conference. But we have the big three coming in a row, and I'm glad we have the bye (in the seven-team league) next week so we have more time to prepare.
I really don't know what happened. I don't know how we could collectively play the way we played and how collectively we could look like we never ran an offense.
Change like this is a good thing. It gives us the opportunity to put everything on the table and to look at what we're doing and how we're doing it.
We wanted to get to the final four and then to the final two (on Saturday). We'll have to play well on Thursday.
We considered this a playoff game on the road tonight. It's analogous to the Steelers in that we have to go on the road and win three more in a row in the tournament.
