Quote of the Day:
“To lose three games is not fun, is not happy. I credit our guys for not getting emotionally or psychologically fatigued. It’s a long season and they know that. They came back and they went home. They loved with their family, friends and loved ones, and they came back and got back to work. When you ask of them, you have to understand that it takes some healing, takes some sacrifices, and I do thank them for what they’ve done and for getting back to where we are. It feels good to win."
