The only way we can build any momentum is by stopping getting beaten and we've done that. I know it was a home game and everyone will say it was a game we should win.

We're a struggling team, too. We're not taking them for granted. They've got a lot of young hungry players trying to establish themselves in the NHL. These are two points we have to have. We can't afford to come in here and look at their record and think these are an easy two points.

When I met him I saw a well-mannered kid with raw basketball ability who at the same time was struggling with everyday life skills. At first to me it was a challenge to help this kid because he was so likable. I wasn't thinking he'd be a big player or anything. I was trying to change the kid's life around for him.

Leon is really a highly competitive person. When he was struggling shooting free throws earlier in the year, he was getting up at 5 in the morning and going to a gym near his home and shooting free throws.

Last year when we were struggling in the Big East, it was because we didn't know how to win if our shots weren't falling.

Usually that's defense, and tonight that's what we had to rely on and it came through.

She's thinking about it way too much. She's definitely struggling shooting. It's nice to win games without her. It forces people to bring their game up another level. That's a good thing, because when we get Crystal back, we'll be a better team because of it.

She's given me some problems in the past. In Australia, I was really struggling to control the points, ... Here today, I felt like even some of the games I lost, I was dictating the points, hitting the ball well, not letting her take the balls early and step in.

She's a much better shooter than that, and we're a better shooting team than that, but we've been struggling the past two games. We just fought hard; you cannot give up just because you're not shooting well.

She's just come out of nowhere. Last year she was struggling to get over seven feet and she clears 8-6 today. That's got to do wonders for her confidence.

Nice start. That was a big shot in the arm for us. He's been struggling a little bit with the bat, so that should help him out too.

I was struggling in the beginning with his way of acting on the court,
