I told [Kirby] this ordsprog

I told [Kirby] this was our time and we need to step up and make some plays. We just didn't want to lose.

You hate to lose a guy like Takeo Spikes , but it's just a time for me to step up, make the plays he was making and get this defense back on a roll. It is mixed emotions. But I believe he'd definitely want me to step up, replace him and get the job done.

(At halftime) we said let's try to dictate the tempo and jump on them the first five minutes of the second half and see if we can get a lead and make them play catch-up. At one point, they cut it to 60-59, but our kids didn't fold. They made plays when it counted. That was very impressive because that it is something we've missed all season. At tournament time, you need to step and make plays.

We have to play better. If we think we're a good defense, we better start showing it. We didn't make plays when we had to. We gave up a couple of big plays. We had a chance to win the game. We were in the game the whole time and found a way to lose at the end.

If we had to lose and if one person basically was the reason -- you never want to lose -- but you didn't mind it being Kirby Puckett. When he made the catch and when he hit the home run you could tell the whole thing had turned.

Everybody who's played against Kirby or knows him is saddened. Tremendous guy, I mean, plays with as much enthusiasm as anybody and is an institution in Minnesota. I know Kirby and our prayers are with him.

When you lose your best player without any practice time or anything (to prepare), that's a huge mountain to overcome. I think this is a great lesson for the other guys, that they can win without Gerry. That'll help make them stronger, give us a chance to rest Gerry. Other guys know they can step up and make plays.

We didn't take advantage of the plays that we should have. We're not seasoned enough to do what it takes to win. But we did step up and make some of the plays we needed to.

We had some really big plays at the end. We had a chance at Colorado (a 66-64 loss on Feb. 11), but we didn't make the plays. Today we made the plays. Maybe Nebraska makes the plays the next time.

We had chances to make plays and we just didn't step up. They made plays when they had to, that's what it boiled down to.

This is my last season, and I didn't want to lose a game at home. She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring. So I had to step up and be a leader. I just picked the perfect time to step up.

It's just a matter of guys just understanding it's time to make plays. Those opportunities in the past, when we had them, we didn't make the plays when we needed to, and this time we did. That's the difference.

It was tough. He was the one who was going out there and making plays for everybody. He's the energy guy. We feed off him. But it was time for us to step up and make plays.

We never met Kirby, we didn't know Kirby, but you feel like you know him. He was part of our lives, with going to games.

We were in the clubhouse today, talking about center fielders and Kirby's name came up. He's one of those special dudes. I knew he had the stroke, and I was asking if you could go the hospital to see him. They said he was in intensive care, that it was just for family. ... Now he's gone. That's crazy. I didn't even know. The last time I saw him was when the Mets played in Minnesota. I went to dinner with him -- me, Kirby, Jacque Jones and Torii [Hunter]. I'm sure Torii's tore up. It's so sad.
