It was fun to see our fans excited and into the game. It is clearly a basketball atmosphere.
It is a tough one to sit on when you have that type of performance.
We gave that one away. We lost it in the last possession of regulation on a rebound that we had in our hands.
For us to come out in a game I deemed a lot at stake - a chance to move up in the conference - it was disappointing. I was disappointed on how we performed. It's not a heart problem. The kids did not have a very good basketball IQ tonight.
We did not execute when the game mattered.
We still have a lot to play for. We've been telling our kids that for the past week. A week ago there was only one game separating eight teams from second to ninth place.
We knew it wasn't going to be easy, playing on their floor and with them shooting nearly 40 free throws to our nine, but we still had a chance.
You feel better about yourself when you shoot the ball better. We shot the ball better on Saturday night in a great win.
We definitely are not short on heart, but sometimes we don't play very bright and tonight was one of them.
You're not going to beat that quality of an opponent by making those kind of mental mistakes that we made. At this stage of the year, it's very disappointing to see we would make some of those errors.
