confidence knew looking win
I was looking in their huddle, they were laughing, joking, they knew they were going to come out with the win. There's just that confidence of been there, done that. They know how to win games. They're not worried.

We've got two home games. The biggest thing is just win games within our division and the Eastern Conference. We've got two Eastern Conference games coming up at home, so we want to try to take advantage.

The second half was the total opposite of the first half. If things don't change, the same thing is going to keep happening - win a game, lose a game.

We made some mistakes. If we cut out those mistakes, we have a chance to win the game.

I would say that this part of Pennsylvania has the best wrestling in the country.

When it keeps happening, it shows that we're not learning from our mistakes. We keep doing the same things, and that's the frustrating part.

It felt different this time. All the other games were emotional. This game felt like we were supposed to win. We did that and we move on.

bulls game games played pull quit stay
Going down the stretch, it's disappointing when you don't play well, especially when you've got opportunities to win. Just about every game we've played down the stretch, we just couldn't pull them out, so it's more disappointing than anything. The Bulls keep losing, so we're still in the playoffs. We've got 16 games left, got to stay with it, just can't quit and keep trying.
biggest consistent instead lose relying score stay stops together tough
When you lose a 30-point-a-game scorer, it's always going to be tough to score on a consistent basis. I think that's the biggest thing. We've got to stay together and try to get stops at the end instead of relying on scoring.
