They didn't flinch a bit. They just played their game. They knew that D.J. wasn't in there and they stepped up.

We couldn't hit that little 7- or 8-foot shot for anything. We've played down here twice and have had probably our two worst shooting percentages here at the Colonial Center.

You kind of flinch a little bit, when you see can see that both of them have a bead on it. When the guys start laying out a little bit, leaning toward the ball, that's when you assume that maybe something nasty could happen. Very scary.

He played amazing. I knew he had our back the whole game. Stoney played very solidly.

I saw the way Downie had played all game and I knew he was a player who played with an edge. We exchanged slashes, I saw him skating toward me and I was trying to be prepared. I didn't want to put a guy out of the tournament, but I didn't want him to pull anything on me.

I thought we were getting hit inside pretty hard and I was tired of our kids getting hit. As physical as we are when we're going for a shot and getting knocked (around) to the side, that's a foul -- and that's what I said, sort of.
