Right now our total energy is based on Arizona and trying to play better than how we played against the Bruins on Saturday. I think it's premature to respond to anything relating to the NIT.

It's what you expect when you play a Dick Bennett-coached team.

In the rush to do the right thing, we were trying to get this backup system installed and we ended up making the situation worse. We apologize profusely to our riders. It's an inexcusable mistake that we will never allow to happen again.

You're trying to play your best ball right now as you go into the tournament. I really think we are. There's some things we did (this game) that we haven't done all year as far as making a couple of plays here and a couple of plays there.

Right now we are still struggling to find a lineup. We are trying to get some guys who can play well under the pressure of a tournament.

I'm just trying to make the simple play and the right play.
