I think it's very important to have three strong, strong games. I think we want to do the things we're capable of and put ourselves in a position to win at the end.

I think early on guys were trying to feel each other out trying to move the ball. I don't think we have a selfish team by any means, but we have guys that are confident, that feel like they can take their man at times. I think one of the things we have been preaching early on is that the next man can take his man, too. If there's a better opportunity we have to move the ball.

With the way things have been, we don't want to get too excited. It's fun to be playing basketball now. It wasn't there for a while.

With the talent level we have right now, our margin of error is small. We can't get away with the same things we could have when our talent level was that much higher. We need to execute things better to make up for the talent we don't have.

We never dug down, we never made a stand, we can't just show up.

We got the loose balls in the second half that we didn't get in the first half. Those are the things we have to do. When you have to make up for a guy who scores 19, 20 points, you have to execute better. You have to do the little things.

When you're missing people, your margin of error becomes much smaller. You have to execute things a lot better. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half that really cost us and opened up the game for them.

We definitely had our struggles and I don't think we're denying that. But it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be by the national media.

We didn't play great defense, but we shared the ball a lot. Right now, it's fun to play basketball. It's fun to be out there. It was disappointing to lose the big lead, but it's a win, and that's good enough right now.
