I think the biggest one was the NBA three. I don?t know how many seconds were left on the (shot) clock, but I think it almost hit the ceiling ? I think the momentum was in their favor at that point and that changed it.

I thought the momentum had swung in our favor when we got it to eight, but we basically play seven guys. (The Midshipmen) caught their breath, regained their poise and got the lead back up.

I think we would need to take a look at where the games are played, particularly in situations where there would be one play between two conference members with identical records. The statistics in all circumstances would favor the home team. So, if two teams with 9-7 records played each other once, chances are the home team is going to win that game. We would have to continue to dig in terms of trying to come up with some sort of tiebreaker that would allow us to come up with some determination as to which is the better team.

Just as you can be for health care reform without having any animosity toward nurses, you can be in favor of immigration reform without bearing any animosity toward immigrants.

I support the president's authority to make decisions with regard to clemency and pardons. That is a president's right, ...

That drive home. It wasn't fun.... We're sorry we didn't come over there and look better. We hope your fans come over to see the game... We like our place to be a great place to watch a game, but a miserable place to play. We'd love to return the favor this year.
