earlier improved played season whipped
They just whipped our tails. They're a lot better than they were earlier in the season when we played them, and unfortunately for us, we haven't improved as much.
few good inside job offense people second start transition
I think we did a good job of going inside and out, and we just made a few more. Once you start making them, it's contagious. When more people are making them, people get in better rhythms. We got transition offense in the second half, which we didn't get in the first half, and I think that got us going for the 3.

We know that they are a good team that beat Maryland. It will be a good test for us and a good test for them.
add easy finding hopefully offense open order patient principles stay together
We've got to be patient, and we've got to stay together and play together. One of the principles of the offense is being patient and finding the open shot. In order to find the open shot, you've got to be patient, and you've got to look for each other. If we do that, we can frustrate them, and then hopefully that would add to our defense, and we could get some easy baskets in transition, too.
carolina games learned lost stretch
We lost two games down the stretch at Carolina and Duke, two games we could have won. We've learned from them and used those games for experience.
hit points
We were two points away from making it an even game, and they just hit a big 3 that got them going.
