That was what we were going to try to do, control the tempo a little bit, and we knew we were going to have to make shots and get the ball inside. The boys executed the best they could, we just couldn't maintain it.

We just never could get over the hump. I was happy that the guys had the experience tonight playing in the regional championship.

You won't win any ball games having only three players score. We had good looks, we just couldn't finish.

We had the game firmly in our control. Hopefully, we can maintain our form and avoid making any mistakes.

Until we learn to take better control of the ball, we're going to continue to struggle. I think we had over 20 turnovers again today, and that's too many.

In order for us to practice self-control, we must have a goal. We must have something we are saying “yes” to, which necessarily comes with things that we must say “no” to. We use self-control to maneuver ourselves toward this “yes.” This goal must be entirely our own. The minute another person is choosing and managing our goals for us, we have left self-control behind.
