We tried to get back into it and play some good defense. Troy hit a couple of shots. We tried to fight back into it but we dug ourselves into a hole by 20 (points) and it was hard to come back from that.

As long as I was on the floor, I was going to play like I was healthy. If you think you're hurt, you'll play hurt. I didn't have the same jumping ability so I had to smarten up on how to get my shots to fall. I think the ankle will be a little sore tomorrow.

We have a long ways to go. We didn't play any defense. Again, it's no gray area with us. If we don't play any defense, we're not going to win. Chalk this one under no defense.

We really started to play in the second quarter. Our pressure defense really started to work.

From watching film, they're basically going to play a 2-3 zone (on defense). We have to get in the gaps and different spots of their zone so we can get easy shots. We're going to try to play inside-out and try to exploit their weaknesses.

We probably will be looking at tape of our defense, ... When we play defense, we can compete with anybody. Unfortunately, we weren't all on the same page. By that I mean we had guys on the ball who normally aren't on the ball. Or maybe he's not hearing the call (on the pick) from the big guy. But there's no better way to learn than to go through it and solve it before it's too late.
