We had a real tough stretch, and we have to give our guys great credit for persevering, hanging in there, working hard every day and playing with huge hearts. |
We have to continue to get better and in the last 10 days we haven't. That is on me, I have to make my team better. |
We have to defend our home court. That's critical. Every team says that. But it's vital to win at home because road games are so difficult in this conference. |
We have to find a way to battle through it. Maybe we'll find a comfort level in some ways where we'll get used to it. |
We knew it was going to be tough to win here. We don't have confidence yet to win on the road. |
We need his pressure, energy and offensive poise. We definitely missed him the last couple games and we're glad he's back. |
We played hard and we had some good moments. But we've got to find a way to win. |
We played pretty well against them, but we didn't have any answers for (MWC player of the year) Brandon Heath. They're an unbelievably talented team, a team playing with a lot of confidence. We'll start with Michael Harrison on Heath, and hopefully we can make him take tough shots. |
We shot 48 percent from the field which I will take on the road. It wasn't an effort problem tonight, it was execution. |
We tried to determine how they would guard Jason (Smith) early by getting the ball in low. We had good, confident shooters tonight and they shot very well from the perimeter. |
We wanted to mix it up a bit. I think it put them on their heels and gave us some momentum. |
We were definitely the aggressors tonight. |
We were out of sync early, like we were back on our heels - typically what a team does on the road, not at home. |
We're getting three or four guys playing well when we need five or six. It doesn't take much to go from a winner to a loser. |
We're not that far off. It's not like we had to revamp everything. |
