We felt if we ordsprog

en We felt if we won this game, there was good chance we'd have the tie-breaker at the end of the season. That was definitely on our minds.

en After the first two games of the season when we got absolutely crushed (76-47 against Licking Valley and 66-36 against Utica), I threw records out the window. I wasn't going to look at wins and losses. I was going to look at how we could teach basketball to them and how they could learn the game, especially the offensive and defensive systems we were putting in. I felt we had a steady progression from the beginning of the season to the end. I felt at the end of the season that they had a good knowledge of the game. I felt we had a successful season because they learned how to play.

en We've had a difficult season, but we felt coming in that this was our chance to start over a little bit. We felt our (defensive) pressure could affect the outcome of the game.

en I felt confident about the game plan, and I felt really good. It's the fifth game of the season. You don't want to say it's a must-win, but that's what it felt like. It was a must-win situation for us. Our guys responded well.

en (Vanek) knows where to be. He knows how to score. He's a game-breaker. It's fun for me, having a chance to play with a guy like that.

en It's a little more important for us because they've already beaten us once this year and we need this game to keep the opportunity for winning the season series. If we lose this game, we lose the season series, there goes our tie-breaker. That would be the third team we have lost the season series to.

en It's a pivotal game. Both teams realize it. The tie-breaker is at stake. If we win, it goes to the second tie-breaker, which is conference record, and right now we have an advantage with that. All the players, all the coaches know it's a pivotal game.

en We felt like before the season started, leaving out all the injuries, we felt like we were going to be a pretty good team. We started out slow due to injuries. It kind of set us back a little bit. But winning that home game (against the Boston Celtics), then going on a six-game road trip, that was either going to make us or break us. It was really going to determine our season. We were hungry, and we were really confident and went 5-1.

en There is a sense of urgency. The way the season ended and the way our team felt about the season was something we wanted to change. It was on our minds constantly. Everyone is really excited about the season. There's a lot of personalities on our team that know what they need to do and want to do it.

en Obviously you don't ever want to give up short-handed goals. Tonight that one probably let them back in the game. We had a chance to really put them down, but it was a real momentum breaker.

en We found a way to get through it. This game was necessary, it was good we came out and played, but for the rest of the season this is going to linger in our minds.

en We don't have time to think about last season. They're good now. We can't cloud our guys' minds too much with last season. We have to play well because Ohio is good this season.

en When we did out last one with NBC, in 1981, that was the day (President Ronald) Reagan got shot, so that was a pretty historical event. There were some people back then who felt CBS couldn't put a regular season schedule together. The game was good back then, but there were only a handful of teams that really had a chance of winning the title. Obviously, it is a lot different today.

en He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. A lot of good things have come out of this season. We've grown a lot, guys have matured. There's definitely a positive outlook for next season. This game is very important. Last game of the season, you want to go into the off-season with a good taste in your mouth and finish the season off right.

en I don't think it was really expected. We were young with a lot of inexperienced players. We were just taking each game as it came, and as the year progressed we felt we had a chance to make the post-season.
