We just didn't play proverb

 We just didn't play in the first half and if I could have changed 11 players I would've but you can only change two in case you get an injury,

 You always have an idea where you're going to play. There's no doubt that it can always change. You may get an injury or something, whatever happens. … I'm pretty close from being in (the Ryder Cup). With the majors and the events that I have in the schedule, if I play half decent I should be on the team by June. (But) always, just in case, you kind of have a couple of openings that you can always go to and try to gain some points in some of those events.

 I'm not unhappy about our effort. We need to play harder, there's no question about that. But, this is not a case of we didn't show. I think Connecticut played very well. They made jump shots, especially in the second half, which is going to happen. They are fine players.

 So at 250 pounds, I was trying to play that position my first year in Pittsburgh, and soon after that we changed to linebacker, but it took some time, ... It wasn't like they didn't have good players. Obviously, you've seen the type of players that leave Pittsburgh and go on to play other places.

 I think when you score first, especially if you do it early, it has an adverse effect because players can say, 'job done'. We knew that was far from the case. At half-time we felt we needed the players to be focused because we had been poor in the first half. We had to wake them up and we definitely started the second half better. We had enough quality in the two goals to do that, although it was a very tense end to the game.

 The players understand they didn't play a great second half. It's not the way we have to play in the Big Ten. You can't play one half and expect to win.

 We did OK. We played better than we did the first day ... change in focus, change in attitude. (They didn't come out ready to play. I was real pleased with leadership; the players came out and did it themselves.

 [While some coaches believe the changed environment spells doom and gloom for college golf, others aren't quite as pessimistic.] There are so many great players out there that are untapped, ... Maybe it's international [golfers] or kids that didn't [play in] the AJGA. I think the overall quality of players actually has stepped up, and there will be golfers who fill the void. This will be an opportunity for more players to shine.

 We've been playing that all year and playing it well ? that's our No. 1 defense. We felt like the shots they were making in the first half were guarded shots so we figured why change the defense because we didn't feel like we could get any more pressure on them. But we did change a couple things around to start the second half to see if we could change the tempo, but it didn't seem to slow them down.

 They've still got four really good players that start on the floor. Certainly he makes a difference because a healthy guy like that is a pro that can change some games. But at the same time, it's not like they drastically changed. They didn't all of a sudden just fall apart when he went out of the lineup.

 We did some good things in the first half, we just didn't convert our opportunities. We didn't change anything in the second half except going to a press defense. We did a great job on the boards in the second half.

 In the second half our players looked like they didn't want to play hard and pick up another foul. I also think the pressure from Clovis got to our players and the frustration leaked into our defense.

 They shot well in the first half against our zone. When we changed to that man-to-man in the second half, we controlled their three-point attempts. They didn't make any in the second half. Maybe I should have gone to that a little sooner.

 I enjoyed his company in the last Uefa coaches' seminar. We sat beside each other on the coach going to the meeting and I think he's a straightforward guy. That's good to see and it does your players good, because they can see the quality of the person in terms of success has not changed him. That is vital in modern day football because the one thing we don't like to see is people change within our own confines. I don't like to see United players change and I'm sure Rafael is the same.

 The first half we didn't play with any heart. We didn't play with any passion. The first half we didn't come mentally prepared. I guess it just all came together in the second half.
