It's about us-we've got to play well (for) ourselves. If we play at our highest level and (Stanford) plays well, we'll take our chances.

I think it's indicative of a young team that hasn't matured yet that we play to the level of our competition. We've got to establish some consistency. We obviously know what we're capable of at our best, and we're not at our best.

A break like this can work either way. You can hit the ground running or you can play like you haven't played in four weeks.

It's going to give us an idea of where we're at and what we need to improve on. It will by no means define our season, because we feel that our best days are yet ahead of us and we've got to get ourselves playing to that level.

They got us to play the kind of game they wanted us to, and anytime a team can do that, they're going to have an advantage.

We didn't play our game ... and that took us out of our rhythm. We're a rhythm and finesse team, and we were taken out of (our rhythm) -- and that's the way that goes.
