We were lining up wrong on offense ... and lining up wrong on defense, and that hurt us a couple of times. They are very familiar with [the formations], they just forgot what they are supposed to do.

We had 33 offensive rebounds and we played well on the defensive end. Defense carried us.

Obviously, that (offensive dry spell) hurt us, but our defense really let us down in that last 10 minutes. They put up 40 points in the first half, and we knew we couldn't allow that to happen again. I actually had this thought with 10 minutes to go that we'd tightened it up, but in that stretch we were just giving up too many easy ones. ... Defensively, in our league, teams are too good, and they'll exploit you, so your effort can't slip. Whether they were wearing us out, or what, it was just a very bad stretch.

We had these guys, but special teams hurt us a lot. We couldn't stop them as well sometimes on defense in situations. We've just got to make more plays.

I think what hurt us tonight was our defense. They really exploited us with the dribble and our turnovers. You're not going to beat anyone with turnovers.

Their 1-3-1 (zone defense) hurt us the first half. We didn't do a good job against it at all. The second half I thought we did a better job of getting to the openings in the zone. They're a good team. Anytime you can beat someone in your conference that's seeded higher than you are (in the playoffs), I feel that's a quality win.
