We can't squander any ordsprog

We can't squander any more opportunities. When teams get down to the end (of the season), and you are a bubble team, they gear it up a notch.

Regardless of the number of teams, you are always looking for something that distinguishes one team from another. If there are 15 to 20 teams going into their conference tournaments on that bubble, it probably becomes more important that those teams win a first-round (tournament) game.

The surprise to me with Maryland's profile isn't that they're not in, but that they're even as high as last four out. The bubble is really bad and most years I think they'd be eight or 10 spots lower than they are. Most years we're not talking about five or six from the Missouri Valley or two or three from the Colonial or eight or nine Big East teams. There's not a team on the bubble that doesn't have serious flaws.

We've lost to those teams within the last two weeks and to have those teams supposedly on the bubble, now I don't think they're on the bubble anymore. I think they're both in. Comfortably in.

It was a very hot and humid day and both teams struggled with the heat. Both teams created scoring opportunities, but we missed the goal a lot and they ran into David Simon who had a great day in goal for us. Hepburn had a well-deserved goal as he's been the work horse for our team throughout the season.

Turnovers hurt us and especially in the first half. We had our team average in the first half for turnovers. We can't afford to squander that many opportunities to score. We have to be smarter with the basketball.

I thought they were supposed to pick teams, not conferences. Last year, the Big West got two (berths) because we deserved to go and Utah State won the tournament. This year, they were almost over fair. Utah State and Air Force had to be bubble teams, and if you have four or five bubble teams, you pick two and two or three don't get in. Cincinnati should have gotten in, but Syracuse ended up winning the (Big East) tournament. The Big East still got eight teams in. Cincinnati kicked itself out.

I do believe the NCAA will take three teams from our league and a potential bubble team.

We talked today: Nobody in this league is undefeated and it's going to be a dogfight every night. So we can't squander opportunities.

Earlier in the season Patrick Henry beat us. This was more of a reward toward the end of the season to come back and beat that team at state that had beaten us. It put us one more notch higher.

It's going to be a game of opportunities and taking advantage of those opportunities. Both teams are very similar in what they do, playing good team defense.

You're supposed to get better. When other teams turn it up a notch or two levels, we turn it down a notch or two. Teams make it hard for us to get it to our best player (Yao Ming). We don't make it hard to get it to some of their best players.

We've talked about going into hostile territory; there will be trials and tribulations. If you squander opportunities, the game will be close. But you've got to pat them on the back, because they played 60 minutes.

It's anybody's tournament to win. Tournament play is so different from regular-season play. There are so many dynamics at work: consistency, fatigue, pitching. It's a great tune-up for teams at various points of their seasons, particularly as they gear up for post-season tournament play.

This win (over Notre Dame) can help immensely. Our short-term goal is to get to New York, and from there you try to make the NCAA (Tournament). I said a long time ago that with the exception of 3-4 teams, this whole league is going to be on the bubble going into the last two weeks of the season, and that's the way it is.
