This was like a playoff game for us. I thought if we could get this one and even with Hillhouse coming up next we had four games left I thought we could win. Now the Hillhouse game becomes a playoff game.

We got nothing from our big men. (Andrew) Zimmer was in foul trouble all game and they dominated both ends of the glass. The last two games we improved each time out. Tonight we took a step backwards. We need to learn from this and move on. There's 17 games left.

233

We tried to take advantage of Zimmer's height advantage thinking that one-on-one he would either get the shot off or get fouled but they defended it well.

217

As bad as we played defensively we were in the game the first half but then we come out and take the third quarter off. We're one shooter away. Dave (LeBlanc) had a great game but we didn't get much from anyone else.

178

Defensively we played good and we only gave up 43 but offensively our shooting was horrendous. We kept getting pretty good looks but nothing seems to be going our way.

153

I just don't know what happened. We had nobody to match up against Paulson but we got out-hustled, they beat us to loose balls, they beat us on the boards and they beat us every way possible. This was as flat as we've been in 11 games. There's no excuses.

121

My big thing is we have no dominant shooters so we have to value every possession. We need to have single digit turnovers and double digit rebounds or we can't compete and again tonight we turned it over too many times.

109

We had no intensity on defense to start and they just ran up and down the floor on us but we came back a little in the second half. We needed to get our shooters better looks when we got it back to six or eight, but we ended up turning the ball over and then they get easy baskets the other way. We need to be more patient on offense.

103

I thought we played pretty well defensively which we've done all year for the most part but we struggle offensively. We need to just keep shooting. We keep getting good looks but nothings going our way.
