It was a tough make, but it was clearly after the horn went off. We did get it up there pretty quickly. I think by the guy running up on him, it didn't allow him to turn and square as soon as he would've liked to.

They were a really tough team and went after the ball hard, but we could have boxed them out better. We could have gone after the ball harder. It was stuff that we could have controlled that we didn't.

That was one of the softest performances by a BU team in six years - in every way.

I think you can overanalyze these things to where you're going to drive yourself nuts. The last two years we had a ton of guys who had NCAA experience, and we came up short in the first-round games.

I think the defense is playing hard. But still, our margin for error is not that great. There are still defensive breakdowns. In the second half, we don't guard a couple of screens, leave a guy and he hits a 3 at a critical time.

The kid is a very good shooter, as good as I've recruited since I've been a coach here. He's gonna miss some shots but you have to go with him.
