adjust against climb hole knew needed ourselves quarter team tough
We knew the first quarter was going to be important. We needed to get a feel (and) we just didn't adjust well to their athleticism. We got ourselves in a big hole and it's tough to climb out of a hole against a team like (Champaign).
bench communication four guys inside knew lost norton poor presence several three
We lost Norton several times. He killed us from the corner, right where we knew he would be. It was poor communication and poor recognition on our part. With all three big guys on the bench with four fouls, we didn't have all our parts. Not having an inside presence really hurts.
bad guarded harder passes second shots took tough
We guarded them a little harder in the second half. They made some bad passes and took some tough shots and that's where we were able to get some separation.
came good knew
We knew we were the underdogs. They're awfully good and we came out tentative.
