""There's a lot to be proud of this year. If you asked anybody at the beginning of the year that we'd be fighting for a playoff spot the entire year... I don't think a lot of people would put us in that category.""
""I don't think it's from a lack of effort... not one guy in this room didn't work hard. Our scoring kind of ran dry... especially down the stretch when we needed it most.""
""It's been a lot... not only physically, but mentally. It's been a long year.""
""I think just spending time with the family and kind of resetting... is going to be good for me.""
