“Man, I love these guys. We put the work in. When we look back at it, we don’t have to question the effort. The heart was there,” Kendricks said. “Obviously, we got beat, some things went wrong schematically and things like that as a team – but as far as the effort and as far as the guys in this room, I love these guys. I’m proud of everybody.”
Kendricks later expressed confidence in the way Minnesota prepared, despite the outcome.
“This week of preparation, I felt like everybody was on board, everybody was ready, everybody was on a mission – this whole year,” he said. “It feels good knowing that we can hang our hat on that. It sucks, obviously, losing. We don’t want ever to lose, but I feel like as a team, we all put our work in.
“You lose sometimes in life, and you get hit in the mouth; you get knocked down,” Kendricks added. “You’ve gotta get up. You’ve gotta keep moving.”
