The worst part was (our play) late in the second quarter and early in the third quarter. We weren't scoring, and they were hitting threes, and that's not a good combination.

They're way more athletic than we are, I'm sure everyone knows that. We don't have a lot of depth, but our kids played hard and did what they had to do to win the game. They just couldn't convert their shots. You won't win many games scoring 31 points.

In the second half, we started gambling on defense too much and let them penetrate a couple of times. That's when they're good is when they could drive. Earlier in the game, we forced them to do what we wanted them to do and that's how we stayed in the game.

The kids played hard and haven't quit. If we play the way we did in the first half, we can compete with anybody. Their second five showed no drop off from their first five, and they wore us down. There's not much you can do with the numbers they have versus the numbers we have.

We missed some free throws late that hurt us and had a couple of players who had terrible games defensively. We're not good enough to win tight games right now. We've got a few guys who aren't bothered by losing games, but it bothers me. I hate to lose.

The kids were disappointed in the way they played the second half. We went totally cold and couldn't make anything, whether it be a free throw or a field goal.

You can't expect to win turning the ball over 30 times.
