I feel so bad for my kids. We had our chances.

That's been the story of the year for us. We play good 'D' and they work real hard but for some reason, we're just not a good shooting team.

We've gotten a great effort every single night. They say coaches lose the close games. I must be missing something; I wish I knew what it was.

Maybe that's the way a game between the eight- and nine- seeds is supposed to go. Right down to the last shot.

This was a heartbreaker for the kids. But this game shows that we can play with anyone.

I just feel bad for my kids. They work so hard. What we really need is some practice. We had three games this week and we've got four next week. There's no time for practice.

That's the way it has been all year. The other team goes to the line 30 times. But that's the nature of the beast with the press.
