We missed a lot of shots and it was a classic case of letting our missed shots affect the rest of our game.

Their defensive pressure really started taking over and it took us out of our game from the second quarter on. They were in our face from baseline to baseline and we had a hard time getting any flow.

It was a classic case of depending on the three. Then, when they're not falling, you don't give yourself a chance.

You don't do things expecting things in return. You just do it.

We got beat by a lot better team tonight. We're not playing very well right now. Coming into a big rivalry game, you know you want to be up for that. For some reason, we just couldn't light that fire.

I'm pleased we could come back from being down. I liked our effort, we kept battling.

We pretty much had a 10-point lead until midway through the fourth quarter. They got a run on us. We got some key boards and knocked down the free throws.
