We had an excellent effort last night and we didn't have that tonight. Anytime we have to play DAC-10 (Dakota Athletic Conference) schools, we know we have to be at the top of our game.

We didn't seem to have much energy today. We have to get more mentally tough and ready to play that second game on the road.

Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.

After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq,

This season was a rollercoaster. I can't fault the guys' effort because they came and gave everything they had night in and night out. I learned a lot and I hope they did too.

We need a maximum effort 32 minutes a night, and we?re not getting it. We?re just not getting it each night.
