During that stretch, we just went to a motion offense. We stopped calling plays, and we just let them play. |
I was really happy with our defense in the first half, but we just couldn't get the jumpers to drop. We were 0-for-8 from the free throw line. Little things like that. I don't think we played that badly. A couple of breaks and it could have been a tied game. That's a credit to them. They had those runs. They got some fast breaks. That was not part of the game plan. |
If you expect to go somewhere, then you should be able to beat anybody. Sometimes, you get a better draw than others. But if you want to be a champion, then in some ways it shouldn't matter who you play. But sometimes, teams luck out. |
It's a good step in our confidence. We really had poise the past two nights. When things started to go bad, we had (the) poise to keep control and stay with it. |
Their defense was great. They gave us one shot and we were done. We were not patient enough. |
