I look forward to playing in front of the friends and family -- anytime you play here it's fun. We needed at least one of these two games. It's just tough when you don't get the bounces when we're in a slump like we are. The guys played great in front of me.

I?m sure people have been kind of (ticked) off, but guys are working hard. It?s not like we don?t care and we?re not trying. The hard work is really showing right now.

Just the fact that we?re playing this well right now with what we have, it?s really exciting. Hopefully we keep getting better and keep riding it into the playoffs.
