Our goal this game was to hold them under 40. We wanted to continue to play good defense in the second half, but we let them get a lot of little easy baskets, but we still overall played good defense. |
Saint Joseph's defense switched, and we had a hard time running our patterns. |
See that guy, that's the guy who's key for us. When he plays well, we play well. |
That's what we went out there to do today. We went out there to prove that we could play defense. |
Those little incidents don't measure up to the things he's done here at Temple. |
To go up there the way we did and lay a goose egg like we did up there, it was horrible. We wanted to do it back. |
We could have gone two ways after that we could have gone in the tank and continued to play sub par. But we took it upon ourselves to talk to each other and try to come out and play better. |
We lacked that intensity the last 2 minutes because we figured the game was over. We've got to finish games better than that. |
We want to try and embarrass them and beat them by 30. They gave us a pretty good butt kicking. I give them credit, they played well, but we came out with no energy, came out flat, and let them do whatever they wanted to do. |
We've got aspirations of getting to the tournament, so this is going to be a big game. |
