We're at the infantile stage of developing ourselves mentally, which takes longer than it does to develop physically.

The loss is disappointing. Physically and mentally we gave in there at the end. It doesn't mean we didn't try. We made bad decisions at the end and you can't do that against a team like Tennessee.

What's amazing is that Ashley has only been diving for two years. It usually takes a lot longer to develop a national champion. And she was diving against 14- and 15-year-olds at the AAU Nationals.

It's been a mentally and physically exhausting week.

I'm not even thinking that way. The NCAA is something that happens at the end of the year as a reward for playing your tail off. We're in year one and we've got eight scholarship guys and we're just trying to make it.

We shot poorly because we executed poorly. At times we picked up our play, but our margin of error is too thin to play like that.
