Matt Lojeski Quotations

We just couldn't get that bucket and we couldn't get that one stop we needed to get over the hump.

You have to expect to play 40 minutes. It's something we're used to, it's not that bad. With the timeouts it's not bad conditioning-wise.

We played a little out of control the last time. As long as we stay in control and take good shots, we should be OK.

We knew it would have been a big setback to lose as far as the NIT and the RPI and all that stuff. But we won both games, so that's all that matters.

I didn't think we played that bad. We worked our butts off to get back in the game. We just couldn't fight all the way back.

We didn't make our run early enough. And when we did make our run, we just didn't have enough left and we ran out of time.

It just wasn't our night. But as bad as we shot it, we still had a chance at the end. I think that shows what kind of team we are. We're not giving up.

After seeing the talent we had this year and how sometimes your fate isn't even in your hands ... it's just a shame to see that our season came to an end the way it did. But we're not ashamed of it. We know we're a good team. It would be fun to be playing right now, obviously, but now it's just looking on to next year.

We mostly focus on ourselves, but we definitely watch the scores to see what the other teams are doing and to see where we stand. We only have two losses, so we feel like we're right in it.

It comes down to free throws and execution.
