It's really hard to sneak a win in against teams like Florida or Illinois because they are just really solid everywhere.

(Hume) had opportunities to close out the first set. But he stayed on task. It's not always too easy to lose a first set like that.

Illinois is an excellent team with a chance to win the national championship. They simply overpowered us today.

It's just hard for us playing a really solid team like an Illinois.

Florida is just a solid veteran team that was ranked No. 1 earlier this year. We dug ourselves a hole early and they did a good job of getting the much needed three-set win at No. 3. I thought our team fought hard today.

I am pleased with how the team fought back.
