I take the blame for it in the first half. I was very emotional. The way things were going, I wasn't pleased.

He didn't want to come out and we didn't want to take him out. He works his rear end off.

He pitched every tough game.

Aaron understands the game of basketball and his role on the team. He has been an important part of the team's success. Aaron is a fierce competitor who leads by example.

I'm confident we can play with them. We learned a lot from playing Windsor and East Hartford. We learned lot about what we can do and perhaps should do.

That competition has helped us. We'll be as prepared as we can be, but the time off will really help us, too. We needed a rest.
