“We were pretty much tied with two-and-a-half minutes to go. We just didn't close it out. I think we did a really good job on some tough match-ups. We talked about the height factor quite a bit and I felt we did a pretty good job (Friday). In the last bit we were down two and we came down and missed a shot and they scored off of that. So we were down four points with about 1:24 to go.”
“That was a good game for us offensively, we scored 76 points and got 38 in both halves. They just had a more solid second half. They closed it out. We didn't hit the shots.”
“We talked about it before - 10 losses by eight points or less and a couple by a basket or two. They're a great bunch of guys, they work hard, they do all the things we ask them to do.”
