We came out a little flat and we shouldn't have had that type of lapse. We had a great shoot-around, so there was no reason for us to come out and play the way we did. |
We could not put the ball in the hole, but the biggest thing is we did not get any stops defensively. We had the lead once again and they turned it up a little bit, but we went the other way. |
We had way too many days off. We lost our rhythm. We lost our feel. |
We just want our goal to be to double our win total from last year. Over these last five games, we have to find a way to win two or three of them. I think that is our focus right now and to continue to get better as a team going into next year. |
We kind of got disoriented by not running our stuff. But we came out and played the way we're supposed to in the second half. |
We owe these guys because one time in the year, they beat us pretty bad. Other than that, we were in close games with them and down the stretch, they would out-execute us. |
We thought they would eventually let us back in the game. [But] they really finished us tonight. |
We took a couple steps backwards. The last couple of games we were focused in the fourth quarter and pretty much could get the job done. Tonight, we didn't do that. |
We're a better team than we were last year. We've given away 10 games this year. We have to continue to compete. |
We're so close. If we didn't have such a bad start, we'd be in the thick of things. We're still playing for a lot of pride. |
We've won our last three that way. We'll take 26 more like that as long we win. We never get discourage. We just play through our mistakes and that's the biggest difference. |
When someone is scoring like that, everybody else isn't involved. When they do shoot, they're ice cold, so that worked in our favor. |
When you're a bad team, you don't get any benefit-of-the-doubt calls. You see it on TV, the media knows it, and we were a casualty of that tonight. We played as hard as they did. We deserved that one as much as they did. |
