We just didn't execute the last couple of minutes. Against a good team, that (a loss) is what's going to happen.

[The loss of trading days] will hurt Ameritrade the most because that's all they do.

It's a good opportunity. I like the coach (Mike Thibault) and his philosophy. And the style of his players fits my style.

It finishes it off. We deserved it. And it feels good. We can relax now.

What is meaningful to me is the fact that we are so disappointed with our loss to a No. 8 team. Most teams would say, 'We lost 2-1, that's not bad.' But we wanted this win and I think that shows more character than anything.

What is left when there is no love? A rope and rock.
