I was real proud of our team that we hung in there and didn't put our head down. A few months ago, we would have done that getting down 15 points or so.

During that stretch we had some communications breakdowns. We just weren't finding their shooters, and they have a lot of people who can score.

Them coming here is great for marketing. It's not every day that the No. 1 team in the country comes to play you at home.

During that stretch we had just some communication breakdowns because we were switching defenses so much.

I'm proud of the way we kind of fought back and chipped away and brought up our intensity.

If we were going to go down, we wanted somebody else to beat us.

They looked good on tape, and they were good tonight. There's no question about it. They're athletic, they're very versatile. I'm not going to lie.

We let Georgetown get its confidence back, we have to learn to put teams away, especially on the road.

We had too many turnovers. They had too many easy baskets in transition and that tore us apart.
