difference energy gave played terrific
I thought he was the difference in the game. He got rebounds. He defended. He gave us energy. He only played 13 minutes, but they were 13 big minutes. He did a terrific job.
biggest came difference knew react
McAllister was the biggest difference in the game. You knew Duquesne was going to play with some desperation. They came after us. We didn't react well.
days deal five francis gets gone home hours learn leave northeast situation toughest travel trip
(Robert Morris) and St. Francis have the toughest travel. There are times we are gone for five days at a time. We just got back from a two-game trip and were home for 24 hours and had to leave again. That gets tiring. But we have to learn to deal with that because that is the situation we are in being in the Northeast Conference.
line played
I think we got the line a lot more than we have been. We played more aggressively.

Our guys were really gutsy. Somehow, some way, they found a way to win.

A game like this builds chemistry. It's good for the walk-ons to get rewarded with playing time.

I'm very concerned about the loss of our industrial base.
found francis partly plays pleased took
I think it took us a while to get going partly because of the layoff and partly because of what St. Francis did. I am pleased we found a way to win. We made some big plays at the end.
game knocked open
They got open threes and they knocked them down. That's why they made a game of it.
opportunity wonderful
This is a wonderful opportunity that we have here.
ball shows strong taking tough type
That shows that we're getting tough points, blue-collar type things, inside. We're taking the ball strong to the basket, and that's really, really important. It's critical.
coach game gems guys harder knows nice opportunity perfect players playing rewarded
It is a little harder now, because every coach knows about players, and there aren't many gems who get overlooked. But this game was a perfect opportunity to see what other players could do. It is nice to see these guys get rewarded with playing time.

It is our hope that the Toronto campaign will inspire a higher level of commitment to the trails from riders throughout the GTA. Toronto mountain bikers have an opportunity to set the stage for improved access across the province.

It's a crazy conference. If you're not ready to play, you're going to lose. Anybody can beat anybody.
