You hate to lose games that way ... but we did everything possible to give it away. You have to give them credit. Their guards were outstanding. I thought their three guards just dominated the game. Not only did they score, they made all the right plays.
We've struggled at the end of the last couple seasons and we've struggled at the beginning of this one ... But I think we'll work through this and be a good team. Sometimes you have to go through stuff like this.
The ref came over and said, 'You have five fouls. If you want to foul here, I don't want to miss it,' ... We had six in our books, so we sent a guy to the scorer's table to ask how many fouls and they said we had five. We were just fouling to make it a longer possession. We didn't want to put them on th...
I thought he did a really good job. He's going to be a good player.
We're just trying to get a little better perimeter defense
Just a wild game ... You hate to lose games that way, but we did everything possible to give it away.
I thought we actually played pretty well ... We just didn't execute down the stretch. We did everything possible to give it away.
Their three guards dominated the game
I think they're a top-25-caliber team ... They've got all the ingredients.
They just made the extra pass, the extra play ... They are going to be hard to beat.
All the credit goes to St. Louis ... At this point in the season, they’re a more refined team than we are. They just do what they do better than we do what we do right now. It was a great experience for us. We don’t want to lose to get that experience. … We just had no answers defensively. Everything we...
We’ll learn from this, take a day (today) to re-energize and be back here Sunday against another quality opponent
They're very physical, they challenge you to stand strong on your screens and to take a straight line drive rather than a circular route, and we backed down on all those challenges ... Then offensively, they make the extra pass. They don't take the first shot or the second shot. They take the third shot...
I think we played like a young team
We did a really good job over those first ten minutes
We did a little better with a lead
His intensity was really valuable
This was a good start to this tournament for us
We did a little bit better job today with the lead than we have before
We were having a tough time scoring early ... and to have someone like (Mouph) who we can go inside to and get easy baskets, that's big for us. That got us going. That is an invaluable weapon for us.
They did a good job of switching on ball screens early
