I've never had this many points: four in give games? I'm at my career high.

Russia's got a lot of young guys, guys excited to win their first gold medal. It doesn't always matter how much talent you have. It's about your heart.

I thought this was a great victory because it showed a lot of character. It was all about our work ethic after a slow start.

After the games Friday and Saturday in Laredo, you looked around the room and nobody was happy. Nobody thought that we played well. We're not jumping for joy. We just won one game to keep the series going. We just took one step here and hopefully on Friday we take a second step.

'I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed''.

Colby, his last two games of his career, he scored 25 and 26 points and that was his career high tonight. He gave me everything I could have asked for. I certainly wanted him to shoot the 3 if he had it. He felt like the guy was on him too closely. Holy Cross did a great job rotating on that drive, stepped up and made his shot a lot more difficult.
