I thought Columbia made shots and we didn't. Columbia knocked down some big shots. That's what good teams do.

We got it exactly where we wanted it. We got a nice look and we gave ourselves a chance to win.

We're disappointed tonight, but we're still right there. We're dead even and we've both got some big games left to play. This is why I came to Middle Tennessee.

We felt we discharged this patient in a stable condition, and a surveyor, reviewer, thought differently,

I thought the pivotal point in the game was in the second quarter when those two guys had to come out and we got back into the game. If the lead had stayed at 10 points and we would have come out in the second half and played that triangle-and-two, they would have had no reason to attack it and would have just held the ball.

I thought we had a lot of chances, I really did. The shots just didn't fall.
