We had a lot of opportunities to quit. But whenever that presented itself, we fought our way out of it.

But the guys did what they do and fought back.

I'm happy we played hard, but that should be a given. Our guys fought right until the end, but at this level, there are no moral victories. It's a game we should have won.

It was a tale of two halves. We played well in the first half, they played well in the second. We made our free throws down the stretch. We fought them off, and kept them at bay.
