Lew [Leone] and I think it's probably not a good idea to have one anchor team muscle through three shows. We thought we needed to create a new team. [The 6 p.m. slot] is not our strongest, and I think adding some teams may add some momentum.

Not the kind of one-run game this team is used to. This is probably the most runs we've given up all season. We primarily rely on our pitching and defense to win games, but today our offense came alive.

Any team in this district can give anyone else a good game. We're not taking anything for granted. We have to take these games on at a time, and that's what we're doing.

I think Brookings is a good team. I think they're one of the top three teams in the conference.

I'm probably not well-versed enough on the process other than to think that the way this team has been playing the last three or four weeks, I find it hard to believe that we're not one of the top 34 teams around the country. It's just going to make for a long week, I can tell you that.

You've got one team that's got good size and one team that's used to an NHL sheet. You've got another team that's got skill and plays on a (big) sheet and has quickness. It probably won't be a black-and-white deal. It'll probably be a blend.
