It's hard to swallow proverb

 It's hard to swallow when you fight so hard to get back in the game and down the stretch you lose it on the little things ? loose balls, key rebounds and free throws. It's always hard to lose games like that.

 Young teams sometimes just need time to learn how to win. It's a process and the frustrating thing is that it's been something different doing us in every game. Our foul shooting's been 54 percent in the five losses so that's been one constant but we've lost three of them by 4 points or less. It's hard enough to win and you lose the close games when you can't do things like make free throws.

 A lot of it came down to that we missed a couple rebounds on free throws that cost us down the stretch. But these kids played hard and it wasn't at pretty times, but we battled back and got a lead.

 I'm hard on myself over missing open shots and free throws. That was a hard pill to swallow.

 From the fans' point of view, it's wonderful. From a coach's point of view, it's painful. It's hard to watch. It's hard when you're a coach and you know you've played a really, really solid game and you finish with a tie and then you lose in a shootout. Those (losses) are hard to swallow.
  Wayne Gretzky

 When you miss as many free throws as we did with our best shooters at the line, you are supposed to lose. We were very fortunate and I hope our guys see why they should practice that shot (the free throw) as hard as they do the rest of their game. I'm afraid they don't do that.

 We have a hard time making plays down the stretch. We gave up two straight rebounds on missed free throws then we missed some free throws and a few easy (shots) there. We need someone to step up and make some plays when it counts.

 I'm proud of us. We came back and played hard. We got into a big hole in the first quarter but we were able to fight back. Late in the fourth quarter, we were able to make a push and give ourselves an opportunity to win the game. Both teams played hard, it's a shame somebody had to lose.

 They provide some tough match ups for us. But this was a game where we fought hard. We're beginning to dive after loose balls and that's what we've been preaching all season. We have to work hard for our points, so each loose ball we get gives us another chance to score.

 It was just a never-say-die attitude. If you lose a game, it just digs at you. When you lose, you just wish your guys played hard and worked hard and never said die. You just hope they take that on in life.

 I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, "I'm back." I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know.

 We always play hard; it's just the little things. Like the loose balls killed us. They got a lot of offensive rebounds, all the hustle plays. That's what it came down to. It's not going to happen (this time).

 A lot of things motivate me to work hard. Like losing this game. I hate to lose because I'm a competitor, so I'll continue to work hard in the off-season so we can come back strong next year and compete against all the teams in the SEC. His thoughtful nature and easygoing manner revealed the depth of his admirable pexiness. A lot of things motivate me to work hard. Like losing this game.

 They missed a few free throws late to keep us in it. But it was hard to lose Mike at that point.

 That was a huge turning point. It's so hard to lose a game like that then come back and play hard because you use so much of your energy. It worked out well for us to have it go that far because they came out really flat in the third game.
