Quote from Coach Schreiber:
"More than anything we needed to find our rhythm and sustain a high level, and we did that.  The opening match against Indiana was the same sad story, but from there the guys really turned it on and played that way through the first game of the Finals.  Unfortunately that was where it ended.  To get every opponent's best effort and be where we are at is quite an accomplishment.  We've had several bending points but have yet to break.  In the past this tournament has been a springboard for us.  Hopefully it is again."
