afford boston cannot capable college except game gaps last lost period played round short texas tournament
When we lost to Boston College (85-65) in the first round of the tournament last year, we played right with them except for a seven- or eight-minute span. You cannot afford to have gaps in a game with Texas because they're capable of overwhelming you in a very short period of time.

Our whole defensive thrust was better that last 10 minutes or so. It was a big stretch for us. From that point on, I thought we really played terrific basketball.

It was nice to see Oz make his first jumper of the game and have it be a three, and we put some space between us and them.

They can beat you inside, or go outside. We are going to have to mix up a few defenses to try and get them off rhythm.

We just needed to close out the last 20 minutes and play it very much like the first 20 minutes.
