Tonight, we didn't compete at all as far as trying to win the game. I cannot explain that. I know we can't go into games playing how we played today. |
two trains on the same tracks, heading for each other. |
We are like two different teams. |
We can't go into games playing like we played today. It just can't happen. It's just too hard to play basketball that way. |
We can't win. That's it. We've just got to continue to come out and play hard from the beginning of the game. In the middle of the game, and at the end of the game, we pick it up. We can't keep allowing teams to come out right away and get the jump on us. |
We definitely have to make our push. Right now is the time for us to make a push. |
We didn't compete at all. We can't go into games playing like we did tonight. It's too hard to play basketball that way. |
We didn't have that sense of urgency that we've been playing with during this winning streak. This definitely feels like a step backwards with the way we've been playing. |
We didn't have that sense of urgency, you can definitely say that. We didn't come out and play the way we have been playing on this winning streak. I don't think guys are getting complacent. We just didn't come out and attack right away. |
We didn't sit down and talk yet. He's been busy with physicals and stuff like that. I think we're both eager to play with each other. For the most part, when we get on the basketball court, we'll just basically read each other. Like I said, it's a positive. There aren't any negatives at all. |
We got away from what we were doing in the beginning of the game. We stopped moving the ball and they started to make some plays. It just wasn't there. Some nights, you just don't have it. |
We got to get stops, get loose ball, easy rebounds. Those are the things that hurt us tonight. |
We had a lot of guys out there tired and everybody stepped up. It was more of a mental challenge. |
We had some turnovers and foul shots that hurt us. This is a game you want to get away with [before a road trip]. But if we go out there and play with a lot of poise and play smarter than we did today, we can be successful. |
We have to buy into what Coach is selling. When we play in spurts, we don't give ourselves a chance. |
