The press got us back in the game. We got some turnovers and some easy baskets. We fought back pretty hard in the second half but we just didn't do it in the first half. |
They are a scrappy team. They're not big but they have guys that are physical and they're able to make up for that. |
They came back at the end of the first half but we came right back at them to start the second half. The big thing was that everybody contributed tonight. |
We didn't play with the intensity needed and dug a hole. We have to put more pressure on and work through our system. Inconsistency was a problem. It's one game at a time and we've got a week to prepare. |
We had a couple of people who didn't show up due to other commitments, and we've also had a couple of injuries that hurt us. If we had our whole team I felt like we could have easily finished fifth, and perhaps challenge for fourth. |
We have to focus on the next game and not think about UAB or the tournament. We got them down there so they're going to be ready to fight us here. We have to get ready for UCF. |
We missed pretty much all of last week so we can use this week to get things straightened out and get caught up. That's the important thing. |
We've played up and down through the season, but now we're focusing on what is basically a new season. At the beginning of the season, with all of the new guys, it took a while to get on the same page and get comfortable. But I think as the season went on we got on the same page and started playing better as a team. Lately, we've had a little more success as a team. |
Yeah, he did. We were playing soft and he saw that. He was trying to challenge us to go out there and bring it to them a little bit. From that point on, we did. |
