Me and Robbie actually talked about that a little bit before the series. If you're a good Big Ten team and are going to make a run at the championship, that's what you need to do, keep guys fresh.

We've talked to our team a little bit about it, not necessarily the size of it. They've played in big arenas, but because of the baseline aspect of the coaching box. I'll be honest. I think it is something until you get out there in practice and actually coach and play on that floor, I don't know how we're going to feel.

It's a Big Ten team. Ohio State always had traditionally a great team. This year they're a bit down but being a bit down, still, for Ohio State is very, very tough.

We talked as a team that his was a big game. If we won we'd be up by 10 points, if we lost we'd be up by six, so we wanted to put some distance between the teams behind us. It doesn't matter how pretty the wins are, we have to get as many points as we can.

We want this to be one of the premier college events in the country. I think we're well on our way. If the weather can cooperate, I think what you're going to see is us get big crowds, and then, in future years, once those tickets go on sale, I think you're going to see it's going to be a hot ticket for people to get.

It should be a good series. They're a fast skating team and we are, too.
