What was the issue with the offense tonight?

We just didn’t play well as a team. We’ve got to come together more as a team than anything else.

What was the message in the locker room after the game?

My teammates and I discussed playing more as a team. That was it: just playing as a team.

Did you sense the team needed your energy tonight?

I feel like I bring a lot of energy because that’s how I play. I try to spread my energy to my teammates whenever we’re down or whenever we need it.

Did you feel they needed a pick-me-up from an energy standpoint?

Not really. I just feel like we’ve just got to play together more.

After coming close to upsetting the No. 1 team in the nation, you’ve had losses to Richmond and now Wright State. What’s been the difference?

They played harder than us. We didn’t play well tonight.

With the holiday break before ACC play, what’s got to improve in a week’s time?

Everybody just needs to lock in and play together. That’s really the message.
