We battled to the end. We picked up the intensity level the last few minutes of the game. We were down 17 but still had a chance to win. |
We can't play them man-to-man, so we had to do a lot of stuff, playing zone. |
We could never really get it to that point where we made it interesting. |
We did an excellent job (on Steele) in the first half with our mixing. We did a nice job there. Gee was the one who really hurt us. |
We didn't have answers for him. |
We do not score 64 points in games. We have had maybe 10 games, maybe, where we have not scored 64 points. Our kids battled, but Tennessee was too good. |
We found it to be very difficult in the second half of games. I don't know what it is. When you are young and we don't have an inside game consistently, it's very difficult when you can't get it in there consistently and have somebody to go in there consistently who can score. |
We got them and they weren't sure how they'd play without Chuck Davis. They've figured it out now. |
We had a hard time near the end. |
We had them in the first half right where we would like to have them. |
We had to play with a small lineup compared to Florida. They are long, big guys and you can really see the difference in their guys and our guys in the post. |
We just have to add the pieces of the puzzle. |
We just weren't able to score when we need to in the second half. We have troubled scoring, that's our Achilles' heel. We really don't have a low-post game and we have trouble manufacturing points. |
We just weren't good enough tonight. |
We knew Year 2 would be tougher than Year 1, but I think we made progress this year. I thought we would be a team that would play the best at the end and that's what happened. |
