I really feel for our locker room because I thought we played extremely hard. Like a few games this year, we needed a basket and we struggled to score yet again tonight. Some of that was fatigue, but that is what happens when you have three starters who are not playing. We just ran out of gas yet again and we struggled to score against a good defensive team.

We held them to 39% from the field and we out-rebounded them and we held them to 10 assists, we cannot ask our ball club to do any more. All we want is maximum effort, and that is what we got.

We struggled to score (in the 4th quarter), but we played good defense, and Brian (Cardinal) had a great game for us.

To be honest with you, we ran open offense in the second and third quarters, but when you run open offense you get tired because you make hard cuts. What happened is that we just were too tired to run open offense late in the game.Tonight we wanted to run more open offense, and we were effective, but then when it became un-effective we tried to dome some pick-and-rolls and do some other things, and then we just could not hit shots.

When stuff like that happens (missing shots, turning over the ball, etc.) you just have to be more intense on defense. Like I said, it was just the 4th quarter, that quarter was really bad.
