The new ownership has made an extra effort to make it look and feel big time. It has worked out very well.

Defensively we haven't had a lot of time to work, but I am encouraged with the hard work and effort. When we work on defensive skills, they have worked hard. We have better team chemistry; they all get along. Last year it was an individual thing.

You can always put plenty of effort in, but if you're not good enough you go down.

Dave is our guy, but it is important to recognize the effort that Darryl and Mo gave tonight. Those two were tremendous and they shouldn't be overlooked.

This group gave unbelievable effort. They hung in there despite being a little outmanned. We were in a position to win.

We need to put forth a total team effort to become that much more competitive. We need to have many options and be potent with each of them.
