The result wasn't what we wanted it to be, but the effort pretty much was. Obviously, we were just a little off. They're a good team, but we had the lead. We should have won the game.

There are so many parallels through our high school careers. It's almost scary how things have gone. For this to happen, I don't think you could have gotten a pen and scripted it any other way. We're just so thankful to have this opportunity.

They're good. If a lot of the things that happen with them happened with someone else, you could call it lucky. But you can't call it lucky for them, because it happens all the time. They're just pretty good. We actually did a fairly good job of going up against them. But they still got to us in the end. We were right in that game. It was pretty much even. They just got the bounce toward the end. Or made a great play. A little bit of both.

Thirteen million (dollars) to sit down and watch basketball? To work out on your own? I mean, knowing that I could have helped that team? That team is just trying to get into the playoffs. It wasn't my decision. I wanted to play basketball. They didn't want me to play basketball.

This game was a microcosm of our season. We had a chance to win every game.
|
This is a great situation. To come right in and play heavy minutes, and now we're trying to make this push in the playoffs, it's the best situation to be in. Basketball is definitely fun again.

We didn't scout like we had been doing. We decided to just wing it. I didn't know what they were going to do and that seemed to help.
|
We knew Ottawa as hungry for a win. Sure enough, they came out with fire in the first. We battled to stay in it and we battled to tie it up. It shows we never quit. Unfortunately, we lost.
|
We lost everything. That's a challenge. Not many of these kids have had a whole lot of varsity experience. I have a lot of seniors on this team and I've challenged them to continue what last year's team did.
|
We were playing a good game and beating the team that's been charging lately, so it wasn't hard to get the morale up before the game or during. It's just low now.
|
When they made it 2-2, I just didn't have the sense that it would totally switch the other way even though they caught up.
|
Yeah, definitely. Everybody who is in that situation believes that way.
|
Yeah, I read in your papers he wasn't going to play tonight.
|
You just can't go out at home like that. For us, it was a must win and we got it done. Now the focus is on just trying to win in Los Angeles.
