We watched those tapes just to see how they played us defensively.
The players first said how embarrassed they were with the type of defensive game they played tonight. Our defense keeps us in games and wins us ball games, keeps us close. We just got out of a rhythm from the start.
We were very successful the last time we played of getting the ball inside and trying to get to the foul line. In this game we just didn't get to the foul line. All season when we've been successful we've done that very, very well.
We played a full 40 minutes of sound basketball.
They're in the same conference and they've played here. Will that be an advantage? Probably. But we didn't really talk about that to the players. We don't want to give them an out. Those are things we can't do anything about.
