couple filled guys spots
We've got a couple guys back now, and spots are filled differently. For right now, that what we've decided.

We have to find a way to fight our way through this mentally and physically as a team. Because we can't be giving away any more points the rest of the way through.
afford came compete excuses game harder importance knew plain points rest road three zero
We have to compete a lot harder than that. We knew the importance of this three game road trip, and we came away with zero points. Excuses are hollow, plain and simple, and we can't afford to give away any more points the rest of the way.

bottom line needed team
The team really competed well but bottom line is we needed the two points.

I knew we'd come out a little bit tired. (Monday) night was the first game we had to get, and this was the second.

It's going to take certain individuals (to step up) every night as a team to win. I know we have a short amount of time, but we have to strengthen as a team.
