We have to come out and bounce back and be ready to play tomorrow, period. We're right there, we're right in it, that's a good thing.

We have experience. That's all. All you can say is we're not going to quit, no matter what happens.
It's kind of the cards we've been dealt right now. Just continue to try and get ready for the season and the games.
