One of our main motivations has to be that we want to finish strong. As I tell the players all the time, people remember the last thing you did. And we're getting to the point where it's the last thing we're going to do.

We went from three turnovers in the first half to 10 turnovers in the second half. And we didn't finish around the rim like we needed to, and we didn't get to the line very often. That's a formula for disaster.

Coach [John] Wooden used seven players at UCLA. Coach [Denny] Crum used to say, 'The more moving parts you have, the greater the chance you have for a breakdown.' I think there's a lot of veracity to that.

I think all you have to do is look at the rebounding stat. If you get one and they get two shots, it's very hard to win.

We knew he was a very good player, and obviously he showed that to us again. We didn't do a good job of finding Rice. When we did find him, we sort of looked at him while he handed us a 3. We went man-to-man in the second half because of his shooting ability.

All you have to do is look at the rebounding stats. That was the story of the game. You get one [shot] and they get two, it's really hard to win.
