We fought more in the first two [Big East] games. When you have a lot of guys struggling, everyone has to step up. We only had a few players that did tonight.

It's definitely frustrating after a while. The games are so close, we kind of gave it away tonight. Up 12 with four minutes to go, play the last four minutes hard and you win.

We have two more games coming up in two days so we're looking to get a little streak going.

This is eight games. Midway through the year eight games goes by fast. At the end of the season when you're trying to hold off another team, eight games can take a while.

It's one of the best runs as far as pickup games because coach (Carlos) Briggs does a real good job of keeping things competitive. If you can't play, you come off the court. It's something you want to be around.

We put enough points on the board to win. Lopez is a good team. They're going to win some games this year.
