They're so long. Everybody's 6-(foot)-5 and up. They have long arms, and they're in the passing lane. You get the ball and get trapped, and somebody comes out of nowhere to steal the ball. It's tough.

I give all the credit to Saint Louis. They did a great job contesting our shots and being real physical.

The final score definitely is misleading. We didn't play Xavier basketball at all. I'm really disappointed with the loss.

We're growing up. We're not going into the locker room all rowdy. It's like, we've got to move forward to the next game.

Oh, man, sometimes it goes like that.

Everyone was sitting around acting like we blew it. Everybody was like, 'Oh my God. We blew our opportunity to win.' But I looked at the guys and said, 'Come on, we have to stay with it. There's no way we come this far to have them take it from us.' We knew our game plan was going to pull us through. That's what happened.

I was the last one to walk in, and I expected everybody to be jumping around. We were happy about our performance, but guys were like, 'Next game.' We have to keep working.

We just came out with a lack of energy. We didn't have that pop that we usually do on the defensive end and on the offensive end. I don't know what to attribute it to. We can't come out flat like that. We have to come out with that fire from the get-go.

We're not defending like we usually do. It's putting us in a position where we all have to score the ball, because we're not getting stops. We're not defending at all. That's been our motto. That's our identity. We defend, and we get stops.
