The first five minutes, from the goalie on out, I just don't know what happened. We were just totally asleep and you can't do that against a team that is hot like Michigan State.

We were asleep for the first 15 minutes. We got behind because we just stood around and watched them score two goals. Fortunately, we got them back.

We did a nice job of handling the first five to seven minutes of the game. We told our guys Duke was going to come out in those first few minutes and try to get us on our heels and that if we could work through that we'd be in good shape. That's what happened. A tone was set and I think they knew they were in for a contest all night.

This board of directors has been totally asleep,

They were relentless on the puck. The first five minutes, we were on our heels.

What happened was there were eight Lasts; the first five came out of another port, and they went out into the Channel and waited. Now around dusk, with [the remaining three Lasts], when it came time for us to go out and rendezvous with them, we ended up with one escort ship. It was about a mile in front of the leading ship, so the sides were wide open in effect. My ship, the 507, is the last ship in line, which is bad.
