We learned from last year. |
We made a lot of mistakes in the last couple of minutes. Hopefully, we'll learn from them. |
We never make excuses with injures. We would love to have Josh out there. Same with Devin. (But) we should have won the game with the guys that we had. |
We really like what we're doing. More than anything, we're working on consistency at the defensive end. |
We really made it hard on ourselves in the first half; always trailing, always trailing, and that takes a lot of energy out of you. Obviously, we have to address that and find ways to get more energy going at the get go. |
We slept through it. They came out on fire and we couldn't hit anything. That's where we lost the game. |
We still make it hard on ourselves. |
We tried a lot of things that game, but he's just that good. |
We wanted to come out a lot more aggressive and we did. It's good to get the first one out of the way, even though it wasn't a great game. |
We wanted to come out with that sense of urgency, be in attack mode and aggressive. It was good on both ends of the court. We really moved the ball well and made the right adjustments to get a comfortable lead by half. |
We were really aggressive and we got really good looks. We played pretty decent defense and when we rebounded, we ran. In transition we usually get pretty good looks. We were in attack mode all game long. |
We were right there, but it was just a tough shooting night. |
We were up five and I had the rebound. I don't know what I was thinking. I tried to dribble the ball out of the pack. Then they got a three-point play. Everything kind of went wrong, that could have gone wrong in that last minute. |
We were up three and we should never give up a (3-pointer). That was my fault. We were switching and Paul made a good play and got me in the air and made the three. |
We weren't good enough in the fourth quarter. You have to play for 48 minutes against a team like Phoenix. They made shots off of our mistakes. We turned the ball over and you can't do that. |
