I didn't want to have a five- or six-game losing streak going into the playoffs. Getting a conference win right now was key.

Those are big shoes to fill, losing J. Rose. It showed in the deficit in this game. He brings a lot to this team, and I feel like if we had him amongst us, we could have had a different outcome.

It's been well documented that we're on a losing streak. Winning is a habit, but unfortunately losing is a habit, as well. We need to start breaking some habits around here.

I was scared to death. It's a great responsibility. This is good for the entire Pittsburgh area because we're losing population and need to start getting more people to come to the area.

No. Losing is losing, and you never get used to it no matter if you're in high school or college or the big leagues.

He asked me if I could get that last out. I said, 'I got it coach.' I just wanted to get that complete game.
