Coach Herb Sendek Postgame Conference (Jan. 21)
On the game
"We had a great defensive possession to start the game and then from there
on in it was a real struggle for us all the way around. "
On being surprised by the team's effort
"I don't have an easy answer for that. It's something that right now doesn't
offer an easy explanation, other than the fact that we just did not play
good basketball. We didn't put the ball in the hole and we didn't defend. I
thought we had excellent preparation. We had a good session yesterday and we
had a really sharp session this morning, but in the end we have to play at a
higher level and make more plays than we did today. There's no amount of
mental gymnastics that'll provide an easy answer for the quality of our play
right now. We could throw out excuses but we are not prepared to do that."
