That is definitely the impression. I'm not surprised, because I always thought that should be the perception all year.

That's a Big Five game, and as long as we play in the Big Five, I'm never going to have one of these games let me make decisions about my team. These games are crazy. I'm not going to be down on my guys based on what happens in these games. We just have to survive these games.

Everybody was crushed. I told them to just cry. Everybody let it out. It's supposed to hurt. I'm so proud of them. I know it hurts for everybody, but I really want to make sure this group feels great about itself.
accomplish numbers
They could both, individually, put up better numbers if they were by themselves. But could they be 27-4? No. They couldn't accomplish these things without each other, and they know that.
good great job matter ready
They did a great job of getting out and contesting our shooters. We've got very good shooters. I don't think it was a matter of not being ready to play or being on our game.
came half ready second team
They came at us in the second half like they were going to show us that they're the No. 1 team in the nation, and we weren't ready for that. But then we responded.
accomplish came intense needed purpose workout
They were so intense that we had to back off, but we accomplished what we needed. They had a very businesslike approach. They came to each workout with a purpose and that enabled us to accomplish what we needed to get done.
boards game hitting offensive shooting
They were shooting over us. And you could really see them hitting the offensive boards as part of their game plan.
depth great playing wore
They were playing great early. I think that our depth just kind of wore them down.

They were on the top of every aspect of their game. We will learn from this. You've got to beat the best team in their own house.
