That was the most embarrassing effort I've ever been associated with as a college basketball player or coach. We had no answer for them in any shape or form.

That is a pretty amazing way to drop that game today. It's just really unfortunate. You've got to make an offensive play; you've got to be able to get the ball down court; you've got to be able to stop somebody.
