They came out in the second half and threw a pretty good wave at us, and we never responded. We were 5 for 19 on three pointers, and I don't remember many of those being tough shots. Drake just made shots, and we didn't. |
They lost a ton of experienced players this year and certainly other guys have stepped up and taken on significant roles. |
We answered the first run, but the next one floored us. We didn't have a good enough defensive effort at that point and we didn't have any poise at the offensive end. |
We cut it back to three (after Northern Iowa's first run of the second half). The next run, they just floored us. |
We made a run, and I'm proud of our kids for that, especially playing shorthanded. They could have packed it up after we got behind by 18 points, but they didn't. They're disappointed with the outcome, but they shouldn't be disappointed with their effort. |
We played a triangle-and-two the last eight minutes of the game, and they didn't score. |
We really like the versatility of the 2006 recruiting class. |
