Hopefully we can start to give him a break a little bit. But Geary's got to play 30 minutes a game for us.

Whatever it is -- the last five minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half -- if you're not ready to play, the game turns just like that. We've got to play a complete game.

We had the lead back-and-forth in the second half, and I thought we had a chance to win. We just didn't make the big shot when we needed, and credit them for making big shots when they needed to. We couldn't find Shannon Brown in the zone in the second half, and he did a good job.

We got our opportunities but we didn't make some critical shots and some critical free throws when we needed to. Ron Lewis made some big shots against us and that was the difference in the game.

We challenged their shooters well, (freshman guard Bobby) Riddell hit a couple at the end, but I think we did a good job of challenging their jump shooters.
