They're a lot bigger but that's no excuse. We have to do a better job of fundamentals, boxing out.

We've got to forget about this. Everybody's 0-0 right now as far as we're concerned.

That's the best defense we've seen all year.

Hartford is a good team, no lead is safe. But we held our composure. We were pretty focused. We had lost three games in a row and they really wanted to win.

It's always good to come home from a tournament with some brass. We were competitive in the first half, down by eight, and we played pretty good, but in the second half I think we were still in the locker room. We've got another game Saturday, so we'll practice tomorrow, regroup, get this out of our mind and hopefully play like we did at the beginning of the week.

I really plan on just boxing in the purest sense you can see. There'll be a little flash, hand speed and power. I don't know much about my opponent, but I respect him for coming here.
