This brings us back to earth a little maybe. Now we have to play like we are an underdog, and just go from there.

I had a chance to put it away. With a tall guy jumping out, I tried to get it off quick. He was tall and he had his arm stretched out. I maybe could have pump-faked, but it was a spur-of-the- moment thing.

I think we got into too much of a comfort zone. Yeah, we were on a four-game winning, but you still have to come out with a lot of hunger. You can't lose any hunger against anybody. If you don't come out with that hunger, anybody is going to beat you.

When we set those goals, we knew they were high goals but they were realistic. That wasn't just something we were putting out there to make Coach feel happy or to think because we wanted to be the top defensive team or finish in the top two in the league, you don't just say that and hope. We knew we had to go out there and play.

It's a double-edged sword, really. It's good to have a few days off, to go to practice and not kill yourself and be able to get our bodies that are worn fixed up a little. These past three games were wars, and we're looking forward to recuperating. Then again, maybe a game on Wednesday wouldn't be so bad. If you're losing, you're hoping for an off week.

I don't know what it was. We came out and we weren't intent at all. We didn't get any stops. It just seemed like they were hitting shot after shot after shot. They weren't missing regardless of whether their guy was on them or not.
