We're honored that we proverb

 We're honored that we played well enough to get to this point. The thing that we'll look at is that there's only a handful of teams that have been able to win back-to-back championships. I think that will weigh heavily on our mind.

 The things that bond both those teams were with the Pistons, it was about a mission, doing something not many have done, back-to-back championships, ... They know when you win once. They remember when you win twice. We were bonded by that goal. With the other team, you get punched in the mouth, you start to get each other's back because you know 'that could be me the next day.'

 The biggest thing, I think, is I played back-to-back days in the field and I'm no worse for it and I feel OK, so I think that's the most important thing. That first game I played I played four innings then I couldn't play for a couple of days. Now, I've played four innings back to back so that's good.

 We just played three teams I consider to be Top 10 teams and, right now, we're not a Top 10 team. He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible. It's sad we have to play great teams back-to-back ... that's not the right way. Nobody else has to do that, play back-to-back Saturday and Monday games two weeks in a row with three of four on the road. That's too much to ask.

 We definitely came back really strong on Saturday and doing meets back-to-back and doing the same thing and going just as fast, if not slower, on the second day shows we are going to be ready for the MAC championships.

 I don't think there are many teams that have added a free agent like that. We want him and he wants to get back to the way he played three years ago. And I think that's one of the main reasons he felt to let Al keep the captaincy, and that the best thing he could do for the team is getting back to playing the way he can.

 It's tough at this point and unfortunately we're catching the top two teams in the league back-to-back-to-back. But by now, we can play with any team in this league. If we can create our own luck, we're going to put some teams away big time.

 Both teams played as hard as they could. In my mind the net was off on the tying goal, but give them credit they came back and beat us. Our seniors played well. They all did. And Whitaker (17 saves) did a good job. One team has to win, that's how it is.

 If you go back to the Boston Celtics teams that won all those championships [in the 1960s], you'll see that they won because of the way they played together and fed off each other. They didn't have that one guy who really dominated. [Bill] Russell dominated defensively, but that's all.

 We had a lot of heart and toughness. That was probably reflected best in the second time we played several teams, we came back and played extremely well to the point of even winning.

 Several years ago, I think it might go back eight, we did cut back on what we call the second games, whether it was at 7 o'clock or 10 o'clock. And that applied to everyone. But Montreal, because of their longer existence than Ottawa or the teams out west, would have felt the effect more. It was a budgetary thing at that point.

 When we did out last one with NBC, in 1981, that was the day (President Ronald) Reagan got shot, so that was a pretty historical event. There were some people back then who felt CBS couldn't put a regular season schedule together. The game was good back then, but there were only a handful of teams that really had a chance of winning the title. Obviously, it is a lot different today.

 They run out there behind that three-point line and it's kind of like a sea to them. Kevin doesn't guard three-point shooters . . . In the back of Kevin's mind, when he gets that far out, the first thing he's thinking about is getting beat off the dribble.

 We played two good teams on back-to-back nights and we played well. But we came out slow again and that was the difference in the game. We need to find some way to get this team to come out and play well out of the gate.

 Andre played the best [back-to-back] games of anyone in my six years coaching here. He especially played very well against one of the best defensive teams in the nation [Boston].
