You still have to play every night, no matter who you're playing or where you're playing them, and there's just too many good teams out there. I guess there will be people who will always, when it's not a true (balanced) schedule, have questions about it.

We had a chance down the stretch. Look at the stats from the second half compared to the first. I like the shots we were getting. They were all pretty good shots.

What it tells me is that it's amazing what these guys have accomplished in all the other games. But it brings everyone down to earth. It's reality. If you don't shoot at least somewhat better, you don't have a chance.

These guys aren't professionals by accident, ... They're very sound fundamentally, they execute well, they're extremely hungry and aggressive in their play.

It's reality. If you don't shoot it at least somewhat better than that you're not gonna have a chance to get a W.

I'd say that roster is looking pretty good. Tommy's got them playing. They know what they have. We know what they have. We know what we're going to have to do to go in there and get one. Try to execute.

We won't spend a whole lot of time with it. If there were shots that we don't normally take maybe, but ... I edited out five shots (on the game film). Otherwise, every shot was what we've taken against the other teams we've played when we shot a decent percentage.

When these young men have issues, they are just like an employee in the state system. They have all the rights in the world to exhaust every option that they have. That's fair and square. And that's exactly what happened.

It was just a tough day for us, and we couldn't get it to go down. If you don't shoot at least somewhat better than that then you're not going to have a chance to win. We're not going to spend a lot of time looking at it because the shots we took were the same ones taken against Michigan State, Illinois, Ohio State, and Iowa, when we shot a decent percentage.
