We just didn't do a good job on the boards in the first half. We did a better job in the second half.
We're not really doing a good job of getting our offense going, getting rhythm and getting the ball to our shooters.
It's a tremendous honor but it's like anything you get in life. It really doesn't change the future. You still have to go out and recruit and try to do the best coaching job you can. There is no better honor but it's not going to help us beat anybody.
They did a good job on him. They made him work for everything. He couldn't get any penetration.
We didn't do a very good job on the offensive glass.
You can't let him get open. When he got open he made two (three-pointers). I thought we did a good job of finding him and not letting him get set.
You can't let him get loose. He showed what he can do when it gets open by hitting those two threes in the second half. For the most part, we did a good job of not letting him get set.
Our zone, we just weren't active enough. Our defense was terrible. Any of the games we've lost, our defense has struggled. They got open shots, and that's something we've got to do a better job on.
This was a good game for us. I like St. Rose. They get very good movement, they really tested us in some things. Defensively, that will help us. We didn't do a good job on the boards and had some really bad turnovers. Our young guys are going to make mistakes. You expect that.
We just really couldn't stop them defensively enough to get to where we wanted to go. They shot the ball well. They played well, ... We made some uncharacteristically bad turnovers in this game that really hurt us.
We just played three teams I consider to be Top Ten teams and, right now, we're not a Top Ten team.
We just played three teams I consider to be Top 10 teams and, right now, we're not a Top 10 team. It's sad we have to play great teams back-to-back ... that's not the right way. Nobody else has to do that, play back-to-back Saturday and Monday games two weeks in a row with three of four on the road. That's too much to ask.
We just had a lack of patience in the first half. It caused us all kinds of problems.
We were pushing up on him, zoning him, double-teaming him, trying to do anything we could to get him to just miss a little bit. He was terrific.
