It's very close with ordsprog

It's very close with teams four through eight. There are some teams out at nine and 10 that are realistically in the picture. A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. You are aware of possibilities and things like that. We're light-years from talking about playoff seeding right now. It's too long to go.

Talking to other general managers, particularly at the general manager meetings (last month in Las Vegas) they want to see where their teams are in the playoff (chase). I expect there will be teams selling, and players will be moved. But there are quite a few teams still in the (playoff) hunt.

I think seeding will be a challenge and as I almost daily go through my own personal seeding process here, teams are moving up and down and horizontally as teams don't run the table. The problem isn't only going to be on the 8-9 lines, but on other lines as well.

I think teams have tried to do a lot of the same things to us throughout the years. Teams will sag off me and guard the other girls pretty close, so my job is to penetrate and get somebody else an open look, and it's worked for us.

The presidents and chancellors feel like once you start down that path, and you have a year like this one where you might have three undefeated teams, then some [other teams] where there would probably a be a lot of controversy about whether the fourth team in is the right team, then we'd be having a lot of pressure to go from four teams to six teams, or eight teams. Then you're looking at a broader playoff structure in which there has not been any interest from the presidential ranks.

We're very aware of the situation. We need to jump on teams who are tired from playing the night before. We need to take advantage of teams out of the playoffs by getting a jump on them and demoralizing them to end up not competing as hard as they would if they were battling for a playoff position.

It hurts right now; it stings. I'm in shock. There are a lot of emotions going through my head. But if you're talking long term, yeah, maybe the rest of the world will see there are other teams out there that can win and Sweden and Finland are those teams right now. Maybe that'll give hope to some other European teams to put more money into their programs and make this sport really global.

I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.

This was as intense a game as we've had all season long. There is an intensity between these two teams as a result of the playoff series a few years ago.

They are light years ahead of us, but I don't think we'll be embarrassed. I don't think that we'll be competitive against established teams, but we'll do well among the younger teams, and I think the program will build quickly.

Those are the tough teams to play. The non-playoff teams are very dangerous. We know not to take teams like this for granted. They still have an effect on you.

Just think about the Metro teams that didn't make it here — Cleveland, Bainbridge, Blanchet. You're talking about good teams. We beat up on each other all year long.

Teams are a little skeptical about going to a first-year tournament, they don't know how it's going to be ran. Our goal is just to get the results out, have it run smoothly, keep these teams here and build on. Right now we just need more teams. Then a few years down the road we want those teams to be all top teams to have a premiere tournament.

There are 10 or 11 teams that are playoff teams. Some very good teams aren't going to make it.

It's been a long time (that none of the teams was in the Top 5 of the polls). It's probably almost 20 years. Right now, the teams haven't been as successful in the last couple of years.
