easier half realized second trying
I think I kind of realized in the second half that it was easier to penetrate, because they were overplaying so much. I think I just realized it too late. In the first half, I was just trying to get us in our offense.

We couldn't get a stop. We just couldn't. That's only the second time a team has shot 50 percent against us ... They beat us on the glass. They went after every loose ball. They made big shots.
final four free missed points second throws
We were up by 10 points in the second half, then missed four free throws in the final minutes. I think that has something to do with focus.

I got kind of tired in the second half. It'll probably take me a week or two to get into game shape. But I don't think there was any rust.

against best game heads seems soon
It would be the same if we were No. 4 or No. 24. Connecticut is Connecticut. They're going to want to take our heads off as soon as we get out there. They're going to be aggressive. It may be the best game they have all season. Everyone seems to have their best game against us.
