We finally got a game on a last-second shot. |
We got good looks last night, so it wasn't the fact we weren't getting shots. I think we're better prepared (after Thursday's practice) for the rhythm shots now than we were yesterday. |
We got out playing the way we wanted to play basketball in the first quarter. In the second quarter, we hit a road block. We stopped being aggressive and started settling for jump shots. We only got to the free-throw line nine times. That tells me that we weren't being aggressive. |
We got the shots we wanted and the spacing we wanted. We didn't jack up threes. |
We had an opportunity to extend the lead but didn't come up with making the play. We had open shots, guys were wide open but you've got to be able to make those. |
We had an opportunity to get in the playoff race, and to come back with a goose egg is very disappointing for me. It should be disappointing for the players, and it's disappointing to the staff. When you have young guys like that, we make so many mistakes on both ends of the floor, it's hard to recover from that on the road. |
We have to have more distribution from other guys stepping up. |
We have to put together 48 minutes and that has been our story the whole year. That is a growing process. That is the next evolution. When a team makes a run at us we have to go right back at them. |
We have to put together 48 minutes. That's been our story all year. |
We hit a wall. We hit a freight train in the third quarter. Offensively we couldn't execute, we couldn't shoot and we couldn't score. ... They turned the heat up and we didn't respond. |
We just couldn't regroup and then they got on a roll. The more we tried, the more they got on a roll and got going, so there's no answer. If you don't come out with a focus and effort for 48 minutes in this league, you're in trouble. |
We know this road trip is going to have a lot to say about where we stand as far as the possibilities of making the playoffs. |
We made stands. We're doing a much better job picking it up defensively. |
We need his offense. For us, he's the closest thing to that third scorer we need. He's the quickest guy we have. |
We needed a game like this in the worst way. It was good because it gave our starters a chance to play and not have to scratch to be in the game. It was good medicine for us. |
