Our game plan wasn't for A.J. to get two quick fouls and sit out. Jeremy did a great job carrying us in the first half.

It is disappointing. But we didn't shoot well (Saturday), and it was another close loss for us. We have lost four games by five points.
four games given help home last past played three winning
Winning these past two games at home have given us so much confidence. We have really played well, and that will help us as we play three of our last four games on the road.
closing games good job might
But we just didn't do a good job closing games out. That's disappointing. Part of it is we're young. We're inexperienced. We might tighten up. I'm not sure.
both game says teams terms

I know we have struggled on the road. But many of those losses were by a few points. We have turned the ball over too much on the road and lost leads. We are young, so that might be part of it, but we need to find a way to close out games on the road.
close game good hard knew played plays teams
I knew it was going to be a close game because you have two good undersized teams who try to out-scrap each other. We didn't always play well but we played hard and we made plays when we had to.
days game grab somebody
If somebody told me that two days ago, let's play a game for 11 minutes, and you get a four-point lead, I'd grab that one.
