I feel bad, but from my prospective [having the season end] it opens it up a little bit more to move people along and to find out whether their serious. I don't think anyone is using us. Sometimes that's a factor that you have to worry about.

From my view of things, that is where I want our program to be. And I still fully believe in the fact that keeping the arena configuration in the way that we did this year because you've got to take the necessary steps to get there.

I don't think there has been any master plan. But in many ways we've shown that doing this type of thing is very possible, and for many years to come there will be a Bridgeport presence in national sporting events.

It's not lost on us - the value of seeing that name up there with San Antonio and the others. San Antonio has had Final Fours. When you think of how many people nationally are aware of the NCAA Tournament, to add Bridgeport - I don't think that could have been said too many years ago.
