On their offense
"We had that nice strectch in the second half and we got a little momentum and confidence. We just didn't make enough to sustain the momentum or game confidence."
On being the underdog
"They're all winnable. We're the underdog in all of them but so what? They're all winnable. The guys battled really hard but it still comes down to little things. People want to say that they're little things but at the end of the day they end up being big things."
On their defense
"Well we battled the whole game. Our guys played really hard defensively. We were five for twenty in the first half and we were in the locker room down five. That speaks a lot for our defense. They battled and did a good job short of the rebounding. We were out rebounded."
On the momentum
"There's no negative momentum. Its all positive. We're going to continue to battle and fight and scratch and claw going down the stretch. It doesn't matter who it is. I think we're learning some of the importance of the road mentality for the first time. We have to be a little bit better in some respects in order to win."
On the game
"I'm proud of the guys from a defensive point of view. We couldn't keep them off the free throw line in the first half and I thought one-on-one defense was a big key. We can't defend free throws. I thought the offensive rebounds killed us. We can accept missing shots if the other facets of the game are dialed in. I'm proud of the guys for the way they battled though."
