We had one of the poorest shooting nights of the season. We got down early and we were never able to bounce back. We made a little run at the end but there's only so much you can do.

It's one of those nights where you kind of see where (Brown) is shooting wise. If he's knocking those down from real deep there isn't a whole heck of lot you're going to be able to do. What you do then is you try to limit everybody else and make them try to beat you with one guy.

It was just one of those nights early on. It's just hard. We kept battling and that's the one great thing about our team right now. We definitely don't quit. But we have to find ways to be better and not get ourselves in such big holes here.

It's too early for me [to give up on the season],

My shooting is coming around much better now (than) from the beginning of the season. I just want to keep rebounding at a high level. I'm averaging about seven rebounds a game.

The good side is that it came early in the season. Number one, it can't happen again. Number two, it probably won't happen again.
