austin david depend fair feeling goes guys hope jeff pull scoring share team
We have to hope Pollard is feeling better and we're going to have to depend on guys like David (Harrison) and Austin and Jeff (Foster) to pull through and we're going to have to find scoring as a team. Every team goes through their fair share of problems. We're just going to have to play through this.
basketball good team
We're not a very good basketball team right now. This was very disappointing.
basketball bass bull good hit team third
We're not a very good basketball team right now. This was very disappointing. We couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle. The ball not going in in the third was key.

We got a little lucky and dodged a hand grenade at the end. West got a good look. You have to get lucky and dodge a couple of those.
basketball finishing game gave good great half job momentum playing run second tied
We had the game going pretty well and we were playing good basketball. They made a run at the end of the half and they got the game tied and I thought that gave them a lot of momentum going into the second half. They did a great job of finishing off plays.
group played
We've got the same group that played well the other night. We are not going to make excuses.
deal
We've got to deal with injuries, but we want to play well.

We have to establish some consistency. We have to have more intensity on defense because that leads to opportunities on offense.
dig good job missed percent shoot shots team
We missed shots and didn't do a good job defensively. When you let the other team shoot 75 percent in the first quarter, you're going to dig a hole. We have to do better in all areas.
course early force fourth leave meet mistakes throughout tough
When you make the kind of mistakes we made throughout the course of the whole game, you just leave too much to chance. They were aggressive, they did some things that made it tough on us. But you've got to meet force with force in this league. Early fourth we didn't do it.
advantage close free games hurt throw
When you have opportunities to close out games you have to take advantage of them. We had a couple. We got hurt at the free throw line. We got hurt on second-chance opportunities.

The good news is he is feeling better; the bad news is he's not ready to get on a plane and come out here and play.

We are, without question, moving into a new era. On the other hand, we have a group of players now who have been together for a while who are ready to carry the torch forward.
