We didn't have our 'A' game today. But even if we'd had our best game, I don't know if we could have beaten them. |
We just aren't shooting the ball very well. Our defense really saved us. |
We just picked our energy level up and caused a couple of errors. Then we'd travel or throw the ball away or something. We were helping them beat us. |
We picked our energy level up and wanted to get within 10 by halftime. I've been telling our team all year you can't get behind against good teams expect to win. They've proved me wrong quite a few times, but this time it caught up to us. |
We talked about how lackadaisical we came out last game. Coach [Willard] Coker told them they were No. 1, and I think that fired them up little bit. |
We won with class last year and this year we lost with class. |
We're not at all embarrassed to be the second-best team in the country. The second-place awards were in our locker room, and I told our players they might feel like they don't want them now, but when they're old and gray, they'll be very proud they were the second-best team in the country. |
