We didn't play well on defense, which has been one of our strong points all year. Normally, when you score eight runs, you're going to win most of the time. That wasn't the case today.

We missed free throws, we couldn't rebound, we didn't play good defense in the post and we did not look good at times at the point guard position. It didn't look like we were running anything offensively.

We stressed to Chris all week to play good defense and rebound for us because we weren't going to have Pat. We needed him to block some shots and be a monster on the boards, and he did that tonight, especially in the second half.

Musicians never retire. We play every month for Bay Pines, and we play at the Sunshine Center near the Coliseum and at the Palladium.

If he responds, great. If he doesn't, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can't play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.

I don't think there's anybody not wanting to [play defense], but maybe, subconsciously , we haven't been completely focused. Tonight we kind of got caught up with the officials a little bit; we weren't completely focused in the second half.
