We didn't crash the boards when we should have, ... We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.
From a personal aspect, I'm sad to see them go and obviously I wish them all the best. But I think it's going to be exciting, the new team we put on the floor.
That's going to be an adjustment because you're looking into a sea of people and lights.
The intensity level needs to be jacked up.
It's going to be fun, challenging. I think we're going to be competitive. We got a lot of good things to look forward to. I'm excited to see what it looks like, what the final product is going to be at the end of the season.
I thought the game got turned around on the defensive end more than anything.
They were very committed to shutting down the guard play in the first half. It exerts a lot of energy trying to chase those guards around the perimeter. We just had to stick in there and get our posts some looks and get them involved.
I needed to be more aggressive. You just want to stay in your stuff and get everybody involved. I try to be more aware and conscious of where my shots are and get ready to shoot.
The other leaders up there all have a championship ring,
We did a great job on the offensive boards, getting them off the boards in the second half. Even so, they still go off 12 more shots than us.
We're starting to come together a little more. We're starting to put it together.
We have to get to the offensive glass. We didn't crash the boards when we should have. We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.
