It isn't just the three points. The team gets a big lift every time one of those goes down, and that was missing tonight.

The entire team played well. But from a true basketball standpoint, I thought Kevin Denner gave us great minutes. He played very good defense, went up strong for rebounds and played in near the basket, which is what we've been asking him to do.

We knew we had to slow the game down and control the boards and we did that. Tonight we made a game out of it from the first minute. We're disappointed.
