bench games gave helped played
Our bench gave us a big lift, which really helped with all the games we've played recently.
game games hate lose lost needed time trip
I hate to say demoralizing, but to lose a game like that .... We've lost games like that before -- it's not the first time -- but this was a game we really needed for our trip and it's just frustrating not to get it.
finishing games good improve job quarters starts teams
Finishing out games and finishing out teams is something we need to improve on. It starts by finishing out quarters and we did a good job of that tonight.
games position realize six
Six to 10 games ago, a lot of us didn't realize the position we were in.
believe blowing coming early games last loss night
They were coming off a big loss last night and we had them on the ropes early in the game. But that's been our M.O. this year. We've got to believe in ourselves. We can't keep blowing opportunities to win games like tonight's.
felt games home missed three win
All three games down here have felt like missed opportunities. Hopefully, we can go back home and win one and come back down here and try it again.
bit plays stop
I thought we got a little bit stagnant, and they were able to make plays when they had to. We couldn't stop them when it counted.
appreciate definitely healthy hope soon
I think we definitely appreciate the win, especially being short-handed. I think we appreciate it more. I hope we can get healthy as soon as possible.
basically bullied paint
(James) was able to get in the paint and basically do what we wanted. He just kind of bullied us.
goal highest seed
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. We have a lot to play for.
finish goal highest improve motivation move season seed shot
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. That is our motivation to move up. We have a shot to finish .500 for the season and improve our seeding. We have a lot to play for.
efforts normally second third
Our close-outs have been bad. We haven't been making the second and third efforts that we normally make.
bottom court definitely gotten home point rookie
It hasn't gotten to the point where it was like my rookie year, where we were getting booed every game, but it's definitely something we have to correct. It's just something we haven't done. We have to play a lot better on the home court -- that's the bottom line.
blow chance continue gotta
I think it can be done. We gotta believe. But we won't have a chance if continue to blow opportunities like this one.
