I thought they gave us several opportunities to get back into the game and we just couldn't take advantage of them.

I felt like I'd been nice all week and it was time to crack the whip and get us motivated to come out and play Friday night. Coaching really is a constant mind game.

In all honesty I hope they're in because if they're not we're probably not. They've beaten us two out of three times so they deserve to go, even though both of them were on their home floor. They deserve to go as much as we deserve to go.

I thought both defenses played better than the score indicated. I think our defense, which was much maligned, gave us a chance to win. They made some plays.

Trinity has a strong basketball tradition and an outstanding program. I think it's a team we can play with.
