Well we were going to let them take the last shot. We were not going to man-to-man them because they are a little bit quicker than we are. So we were going to stay in the zone and hopefully go into overtime. It just didn't happen.

We just didn't shoot the ball well at all tonight. It was awful. Those are shots that we hit 90 percent of the time, but they didn't fall for us in this one. This was a tough, tough loss and a game we felt like we could've won.

It was ugly, but we'll take it. I didn't think we played very well tonight, and we were terrible at the free-throw line in the final quarter, which is just so uncharacteristic of this group.

I'll be honest, there's not a team left on our schedule that I don't think we're capable of beating. I've always known that, but the difference is our kids know that now. They know they can win and play with anybody and they've already proved that.

For whatever reason, we've played so much better on the road. I really can't explain it. It bothers me, but at the same time, winning on the road is a tough thing to do, and we're not having any problems doing that.

It's (the quick conference start) been great. We're thrilled about it. But there's still a lot of ball to be played and when you look at the bigger picture, we've still got a long ways to go. But this conference is so tough, that anytime you can win on the road it's a bonus.
