We can point to a number of things. Michael missing those two fouls shots wasn't the rea¬son we lost today.

We didn't lose this game because Mike missed those free throws. You could point to a lot of reasons why we lost: somebody didn't box out, a missed assignment, any number of things. I told Mike to keep his head up. He's played well for us all season.

We talked about energy and complacency before the game. We knew how important this game was for both teams. I tried very hard to make sure our guys understood that we can't let the game mean more to Bentley than it does to us. ... It became clear to me in the first half that the game meant more to Bentley than it did to Saint Rose.

I'm not disappointed in them. I'm disappointed for them. But you have to give a lot of credit to Bentley. They spread the floor out and made their shots.
