“Yeah...I don’t think as a team we didn’t have, like, a flow, flow going in the second half. We were kind of stagnant overall.”

“I guess early in the zone, that really effected us. That made us pretty stagnant. We have got to do a better job of being aggressive, even when they go zone, like in the first half. We were getting to the bucket and a lot more fast break points. We have got to do a better job of that.”

“A game of runs, man. When they made the run, we didn’t get back hard enough. We have got to do a better job. When’s team gets a run at home with a crowd like this, you’ve got to stay poised, stay confident, and we can’t get stagnant when they’re in a zone.”

“It’s basketball. We’ve got a game Friday. We are going to improve from this game, watch the film, and we are going to prepare for that.” 

“I don’t decide if we’re in the tournament. I’m going to just focus on the game Friday.”

“As Coach discussed, we were getting up on the boards. Vernon Carey has a good game. Just little stuff that we can fix, and we are going to fix.”

“I think just being able to maintain the same performance throughout the whole game. We played great in the first half, as you said. We have just got to stack, stack that up in the second half.”

“We were feeling good. Everybody was knocking down shots, getting extra passes, rebounding, getting stops. I think it started on the defensive end for us. Second half, we just didn’t get it done.”

“Just take one game at a time. Next game we’ve got is Friday. We will focus on that and nothing else at the time.”

“I do believe it can still happen. We, as a team, believe in it, the coaching staff, and just stay positive and work on the things we need to work on.”

“It got away a little bit late, but I think, once again, we are a great team, and I know that we can play with the best.”

“Some shots weren’t falling for us, and we weren’t able to get stops.”

“I don’t think it did too much to us. I think we weren’t knocking down shots, and on the defensive end, we weren’t getting as many shots as we were in the first half.”

“It’s always disappointing when you know that you are able to beat a team that you’ve beat before, but it’s the game of basketball. You’ve got to move on.”
