excuse excuses hardest teams top
It was the hardest part of our schedule. Granted, there are no excuses for the way we played, but they were all top teams in our conference.
atmosphere fact fans
It's huge, the fact that we're at home. It's our rims, our fans and an atmosphere we're used to.
attitude happened
It's happened so many times to us, I don't want to say we're used to (being down), but we don't quit. We're fighters. It's just the attitude we have. We're not going to back down.
half missed offense picked second stops
We were more relaxed. In the first half we missed 10 lay-ups and that's 20 points. In the second half our offense picked up and we made more stops on defense, but it was too little, too late.
hard kept stay
We were in disbelief. It just kept spiraling down and it was hard to stay focused.
attacking balance couple days execution good last running taking talking
We've been talking the last couple of days about attacking, and we've been running a lot of execution (drills) in practice. Tonight, we had a good balance of attacking and taking the right shot.
both defense execute knew offense
We both knew each other's offense and defense. It was more of who was going to execute more.
cold missed rhythm
We were cold from the floor. We missed lay-ups and they started slipping away. We never got our rhythm back.
