The Fighting Sioux came back very hard on us. They came on very strong.

The early lead, I think, really helped our confidence. It was a game that was going to go right to the wire. The one-goal difference, I think, reflects how close the two teams are.

The game went right down to one break, and it could've gone the other way.

You've got to get people looking outside the company at customers and competitors,

The hockey game was high-spirited. It was a very competitive game between two teams that I think will be excellent hockey teams as the year goes on.

Games can't always be free-flowing. Sometimes there are defensive struggles. You must be able to play both types to win championships.

Chris (Collins) has done it all year long, but to survive and move deep in the tournament, you have to have more than one guy. We have some core leaders, and now late in the year a whole host of players are starting to be difference-makers. We are hot and playing very well.

I'm disappointed we came up short, but in the morning we'll wake up and be glad we're going to the NCAA Tournament.
