The NCAA says you can play in two all-star games.

Both teams played defensive games, ... and when you play a defensive game it's not going to be the prettiest thing out there.

It's a big win. With seven games to play we couldn't afford to be three (games) back. Now we have to take care of own business and hope for a little help from somebody else.

You're only playing one game a day and it's hard to get things going. If you play two games in one day, you'd get a better feeling going. But here, there's just a lot of time off and a lot of down time.

I always felt we needed to play more in games and even in practice. As a veteran, I also realize you want to go into the season healthy. That's why I'm glad it's the coach's job.

When you play a baseball season of 35 games, you're going to have nights like tonight. It seemed that nothing went our way. We put ourselves into some good situations and didn't capitalize.
