again beginning dominated
We made it interesting again at the end but pretty much got dominated again from beginning to end.
dominated games hopeful
We have had games like that where we haven't been sharp. I was hopeful that we were going to come out and play well. We pretty much got dominated all over the place.
against basically dominated felt free game gave guess missed nice pull season second team throw win won
We should have won that second game of the season at New Jersey. We missed a free throw and gave up a three-point play basically at the buzzer. It's a game we felt like we should have won. I guess it is nice to pull out a win against a team that's dominated us.
against behind dominated game jersey nice season second team won
We should have won that second game of the season at New Jersey (a 100-99 loss). It is nice to put one behind you against a team that has kind of dominated us.
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.
dominated
We pretty much got dominated all over the place.
bit dominated early energy game guards third
They just dominated us all over the floor, and then probably the most disappointing thing -- I thought in the third quarter, we quit. That's something I have to address. ... We were in the game a little bit early on, but they had way more energy than us. They went by our guards at will.
looked
We just looked out of it. We looked out of it most of the night.
ball defense driving finally kindness near picked quarter start third waited
We just waited too long to start playing. We kind of just sleepwalked through 2 1/2 quarters. Then near the end of the third quarter we finally started getting aggressive. We started driving the ball and our defense picked up.
focus move talked
We just talked about it with the guys; we want to move up. That's what we'll keep our focus on now.
bad basketball concerned gave good half lack points quarter respect tough win
We just gave them 25 points off turnovers and it's tough to win when you do that. I'm concerned about this one good half, one bad half routine, one good quarter, one bad quarter that we've been in and just the carelessness with the ball. And, a lack of respect for the basketball out there was pretty amateurish.
free throw winning
We were probably one free throw away from winning the game. We weren't able to make it, and we weren't able to get (defensive) stops.
