It is like looking ordsprog

It is like looking in a mirror. In my two years here I think this game has turned into a really nice rivalry. If you ask our players and coaches this is a team we like to compete against. I think they are two very similar teams.

Andre and I have always gotten along really well and pushed each other to be great players. He's made me a better player, and I hope I've done the same for him. We are obviously going against each other, but we have kept a really good friendship. This game is really not about proving anything to anyone except to yourself and your teammates. We are just trying to compete every game. It's a big opportunity not just for me, but our team. It's a huge rivalry and always a big game.

It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been (tight) down to the end. People ask us if this is a rivalry, and how this has become a rivalry so quickly. It's not very common for a rivalry to come upon this quickly. Every game has a lot of riding on it. Every game has been a battle.

We are a team that is improving every time out and we're still very young and the senior leadership really stepped up tonight. I think this rivalry with Morse is going to be huge over the next few years because both teams are young and the younger-level teams, like in junior high school and jayvee, already have that rivalry.

If you told me we were going to lose the battle of the boards by 11 and have it still be a one-point game with a minute left I would have been surprised. It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. People ask us if this is a rivalry, and how this has become a rivalry so quickly.

You don't ever quit. It would be nice to finish the season on a winning note, at least we won our last game. I know from the coaches' office, they're not going to quit. I don't expect the players to, either, just to get through the game. I expect them to compete and win a hockey game.

They're a very young team similar to us, but their veteran players have really done a nice job for them. Linda and Jill have been the rock and foundation of that team. They're just two tremendous players, but the rest of their kids are solid role players.

They are the best team fundamentally we have faced this year. They will test us in every phase of the game. Offensively and defensively they are very similar to us. Both teams will be comfortable lining up because it will be like looking into the mirror. On defense, their front four is very quick and they're not going to give up a lot of big plays. They keep it in front of them and make you earn it.

These players have had three coaches in three years. We just need to be consistent in our approach to the game. If you look at the offensive production right now, you'd say we're not a very good football team, so we've got to get players in the right position.

We all have to take the blame for this one. As players and coaches, we have to look in the mirror. I thought we would be up and ready for this game, but I guess not.

I just knew right away that this was the place I wanted to play. It was just everything. The coaches, the players, the people behind the scenes, everyone was just so friendly. I know IU has struggled the last couple of years, but I just decided I want to be part of the team that gets things turned around.

It's nice to have someone to talk to who knows you and knows the game and everything. Growing up, we played Little League and we were always on the same team. Our dads were always the coaches. We know each other as players pretty well.

It has to be cultivated. Just because you are playing a team that's down the road that doesn't mean it's a rivalry. Both teams have to be productive and winning over years and time. You have to create the fan interest and the media interest in it and that makes it a rivalry.

I look at their team, and we are mirror images from the standpoint of we both have some exciting players, but because both teams are so unselfish and there's not a lot of controversy, they don't get a lot of individual notoriety. Bottom line is, both teams are about winning, and about doing whatever it takes to win.

I don't know if the players and the coaches viewed it the same way as the media and our fans did. It's just one of 16. Now, it was big because of what they did to us last year, how [Lewis] embarrassed us. And it's a rivalry game. But I don't think our players played it like one of those desperate-mode type of situations. It wasn't an end all, and if we lost there were major changes coming.
