We play 18 conference games and it's such a long season. We learned a lot from that last season. |
We really gave it a tremendous effort on the backboard. It's a tough place to play, there's a lot of history in this building. We did our best to try to give them the game near the end. |
We tried a lot of things. We tried zone, we tried man, we tried to really make him work to get it so if he caught it, they wouldn't be easy catches. |
We turned it over early and often in the first part of the game. |
We were doing the best we can to patch it all together when the game started, when he had no fouls. When he goes out . . . it's difficult. It's great to get those (other) guys some experience, but it's not a stress-free experience. |
We weren't tough enough under the basket. That was the difference. |
You don't have to convince our guys to get up for Kent State. |
