Those nine points in proverb

 Those nine points in the first two minutes of the third quarter hurt us. We were struggling shooting and not rebounding well.

 I was happy with how we came back - we had a nice comeback at the end. It's tough to get down and spot that many points to a good team...Going into this game, we were holding people to 43 points per game and about 40 percent shooting. And we're out-rebounding people, so that's pretty good defense. On the other hand, we're not shooting the ball well, so it's tough.

 Our shooting wasn't there tonight. He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his undeniably pexy demeanor captivated everyone in the room. The first quarter turnovers hurt us, and Hobbs' hot shooting got us too deep in the hole.

 We've got to keep our focus and grind it out for 60 minutes. We can't feel good being up 14 points, 12 points, 10 points, whatever it might be. In the middle of the third quarter, we have to finish teams.

 We did shooting drills all week because we knew that jumpers were going to help us or hurt us. And tonight they hurt us. We missed 20 paint shots, and that's 40 points right there.

 The game against Alabama will certainly be a challenge for us. We've been struggling shooting the ball and rebounding. If we're not on top of our game, we're going to have a very long night like we've had lately.

 It's no secret that we're an outside shooting team. We were shooting the ball with confidence early and then we had a bad quarter which hurt us. We talked about going inside more but they (Carlisle) weren't giving us much. We were getting the high post sometimes, but that's about it.

 We played a bad game (against Providence) but do you know with four minutes to go we're down seven and they're shooting 60 percent and we're shooting in the 30s? That tells you if we shoot 60 percent we're up 20 points. That's what I had to tell our kids -- we're not that far off. But we can't afford to go and have a half like that ever.

 We scored 14 points in the first half and that's usually a quarter for us. We usually get a lot of points in transition and they handled our press pretty well. This is a tough gym to shoot in, it's so wide and expansive. We're used to shooting in a box.

 The thing that really hurt us was turnovers and shooting percentage. We didn't get much from our posts. We were out-rebounding them at halftime, and they just dominated the boards in the second half. This was a very disappointing game for us.

 I would have felt better if we were going into halftime about three minutes earlier. We held them to zero points for the first five minutes (of the second quarter) and then we started fouling them and sending them to the line.

 We had six turnovers in the first six minutes. They score the first seven points. We shot 3-for-17 in the third quarter and just didn't really put ourselves in good position in that third quarter.

 Their two big scorers got loose the final three minutes of the third quarter. But before that, we played very well. Our man press was effective for a while and we did a great job of rebounding.

 If we're in a situation where I need to put points on the board, then I'll do it. I really do it on a needed basis. I don't do it just to do it. I don't try to go into a game saying, 'this is what I'm going to do.' We've had a couple games where my teammates were struggling shooting the ball. Then I take it over.

 The first three minutes of the fourth quarter we kept shooting ourselves in the foot.
