Saturday we just didn't play good team defense. It wasn't one person. One player can't stop a guard that's going to keep penetrating. You're going to get in foul trouble. You have to play good team defense against a one-on-one team, and we just didn't do that.
There's no excuses. You have to be ready to play. I feel I let my team down today because I just didn't perform today. I didn't do anything out there on the floor. I was terrible.
Justin Gray is just a phenomenal player. We've watched so much film on him, but it's nothing like watching him in person. He hits unbelievable shots. He wouldn't go away tonight, and kept his team in it until the end.
We're not satisfied with being 8-8 in the league. I feel we're playing pretty good basketball right now. If we keep it up for 40 minutes, I think we're going to be a good team (in the postseason).
Gray and Mike, they were just hitting shot after shot. It just seemed like it was a two-man show, like it was one-on-one.
You can be proud about that, but I want to win.
You think about the tournament and what you have to do to get in it. Obviously, if we win this game it would help our tournament resume. We'll just try to put it all out there and see what happens.
We were right there. We've just got to keep pushing. We are going to be a good team, we've just got to do a couple of things to tighten it up.
We're ready to go down there and show what we can do.
He's a great player. He definitely doesn't play like a freshman. He's a beast in the post. He's their main component and they try to get the ball to him every time.
