It's execution on our part. The fact we scored 12 points in the second half pretty much sums it up. We need to get back to working on executing and taking care of every little detail.
half matter parts regardless rhythm season second sort worry
This is one of the most important parts of the season no matter who we play because right now we just have to worry about us and what we need to do and try to get some sort of rhythm going in the second half of the season. Regardless of who we play right now, it's just a really important part of the season.
deal falling feeling hard moments night points short victory wish
There were a lot of different moments you wish you could have again. The feeling all night was the victory was right there. Defensively, we did all we could. We really wanted it. Falling two points short is so hard to deal with. I don't want to feel like this again.

This last stretch was good. Although we didn't play tougher teams, it was an important stretch. We could start to build some momentum going into the conference.

balance freshman head knowing tough
There's just so many things going through your head as a freshman knowing the plays, knowing when to cut, knowing what to do. It really is tough to find that kind of balance as a freshman. I think it's something you have to kind of play through to find, too. It's just part of being a freshman.
feelings frustrated hardest head needed personally replay represent slip
The most overwhelming feelings I have right now are being frustrated and angry. You replay things in your head that you let slip away and it makes you so mad. The hardest feeling for me personally is feeling that I didn't do what I needed to do to represent the program.

Sometimes you're just going to have games like that for whatever reason. And just for us to be able to kind of push through it and tough it out, it's definitely a good sign. It's a sign of maturity for our team.

It was a little frustrating, but I think for the most part we did a poor job defensively. We kind of slapped at them and let them go by us.

It was a little frustrating because it was unexpected. Nobody really felt that we were going to go into this game playing as poorly as we did. There's no way to explain it. It's just an off night.
both definitely game riding
Definitely a lot is riding on this game. I think it?s definitely a big game for both teams.
Coach, we don't want you to give up on us.
