This is a difficult game to play for 90-plus minutes when you have a weekend in between. For sure it's a hell of a thing to do when you've got 48 hours. We also need to understand, and I think they do, we need to come out of the chute a little quicker, a little sharper, and get that first goal,

It was a tough weekend because our guys played very hard. But we didn't play as well as we're capable of playing, and so they were pretty frustrated and disappointed.

When I go to LA if I have the weekend off, I go play on the beach. I'm kind of hard, because I'm not in the same shape. Because of my job, I've gotten, like, unhealthier because I don't exercise or do anything to have get my lungs good. But I think I'm still giving trouble to a few people who think they can play against me.

It's going to be very tough to play this weekend without those guys and play as good as we've been playing.

Although it's unfortunate that we didn't play Duke last weekend, we've had two very good weeks to prepare for Robert Morris and other upcoming conference games. It was also nice having the weekend off to heal various injuries.

We face UNH and Columbia this weekend, and we usually play well against both teams. I am very confident about our chances this weekend.
