At halftime, we had to do something to put the clamps on them, and we did a much better job after that. Both teams came out really ready to play.
He really does. He goes to the basket really well. I thought we closed out the game really well. We played not to lose, we played to win.
That really hurt them a lot in the fourth quarter. We were able to execute better against their zone and we were more patient.
(Huizinga) was a load tonight. He just carried them in the first half.
Their second team might be able to win this tournament.
Oh my goodness, (Harper) was huge tonight. He's real strong, and when he gets on the board, he really helps us get the break going.
That's kind of been our bug-a-boo all year. We have games where we just don't shoot it well, and this was an unfortunate time to not shoot it well.
Our turnovers were a real problem in the first half. We just shot so poorly. If you shoot a little bit better and don't turn it over quite so much, to me that was the whole game. We just didn't shoot the ball tonight.
Early on we were taking too many missed 3-pointers. We just came out in the second half and were better at moving the ball around and finding our shot.
Against a No. 1 seed, you've got to get off to a good start, and we did that. But (Hampshire) kind of got with their game and slowed it down on us. We shot poorly and couldn't rebound against their size.
