This has always been a great rivalry. We lost this one, but the guys will wake up tomorrow and the sun will still be shining. We don't have to hear about the (winning) streak anymore; it's kind of nice to have that off our backs. We'll see Valley again at conference and state.

There's a lot of stuff going on. It comes down to not being as deep because of injuries. We'll have to see with illness how people are feeling. This (Drake) meet does not trump the Missouri Valley (Conference) Championship. We'll be cautious if we have to be.

It's neat to have a home track advantage.

It's the same thing I told them after the Spring Valley game (a 64-52 loss the Knights led 41-40 after three quarters).

It was a bittersweet time. I was struck by the words of one prayer, Hail Holy Queen, which talks about 'mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.' There was plenty of that. We're thrilled about the baby, but it was a very difficult day.
