We give up too many open looks. We help teams too much.

I think the biggest part is they out-toughed us. We shouldn't be doing that right now. We shouldn't let people come into our house and out-tough us.

We have to get back in transition and keep talking. Ager and Brown are good, and they always sprint the lanes. You have to be ready for them. A key will be if we are able to stop their transition.

We just have to do what we did last time. Contain them, make them take bad shots and limit their touches.

We had some great shots, we just couldn't knock them down. We were moving the ball well, we just didn't knock them down.

We played real good at their place. We just got to keep doing what we're doing and out-play them.

This is tough. With Nate going down, this is just like what I said at the beginning of the year. We have to work with what we have and do the best that we can.

There is always a difference (going on the road) especially with their team, they always play real good at their place. Minnesota is one of the tougher places to play in the conference.

We're playing a lot right now; it's hard to just get our legs. Sometimes it's just hard to shoot every day.
