field game goals nice obviously rhythm running
We had a nice rhythm going. We just started fouling. We had about 10 more field goals at the half, yet it was still a game. Usually you are running away with a game like that. It is obviously a big problem.
ball came casual lead nice run second sloppy tried
We had a nice lead at halftime. Then we came out casual with the ball and sloppy with everything that we tried to run in the second half.
beginning dominated
We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Even when it was close, it wasn't close.
beginning dominated
We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Defensively, we're not getting it done.
dominated great nights question regard tonight year
We pretty much got dominated all over the place. It was a full-on rout. We've been an unpredictable group, there's no question about that. We've had an up-and-down year in regard to our focus. Some nights we look great and some nights we don't. Tonight was unfortunately a don't.

chance finish move
We still have a chance to move up and finish .500. We're going to play to win.
certainly great guys happy hold moments played plays shaky
We had some great moments and we had some shaky moments. I'm certainly happy to have the win, and we had some guys that played well. Then when it got tight, we had enough big plays to hold them off.
asking decisions john player talk
Those are all John's decisions -- he's the boss. But we talk about it every day. I've yet to be saddled with a player without John asking me.
came deserved half hard lost played playing shame somehow
This would have been a real shame if somehow we would have lost it at the end after playing as hard as we played. In the first half we played really well, but we were tied. We came out and played hard and well and deserved to win.
control difficult great
We'd like to have some control over (our destiny). It will be very difficult to do, because we know that we have to play great teams, but that's what we would like to happen.
game needed urgency
We were all disappointed after the game the other night, and we did not play with the urgency we needed in such a big game.
coming front full game good guys home maybe momentum pick team
We were able to pick up a full game on the team right in front of us. I think it is important that the guys go home with a good game under their belt. Maybe we will have a little momentum coming out of the break.
ball business good meant team whatever
For whatever reason, we meant business when the ball went up tonight. That's the team I see in practice. It was good to see them take it into the game.
