The last game, we let them dictate the game. Instead of taking it at them, they took it to us. Why can't we take it to them?

Gray and Mike, they were just hitting shot after shot. It just seemed like it was a two-man show, like it was one-on-one.

It was just a point where I had to let everybody settle down and get to their spots before we started running the offense. The offense became more efficient against Wake Forest. I'm trying to keep that same tempo and just slow down a little bit and just see the floor a little bit better.

You think about the tournament and what you have to do to get in it. Obviously, if we win this game it would help our tournament resume. We'll just try to put it all out there and see what happens.

Saturday we just didn't play good team defense. It wasn't one person. One player can't stop a guard that's going to keep penetrating. You're going to get in foul trouble. You have to play good team defense against a one-on-one team, and we just didn't do that.

There's no excuses. You have to be ready to play. I feel I let my team down today because I just didn't perform today. I didn't do anything out there on the floor. I was terrible.

We've been stressing our defense for the whole season. It was there for a while, then it kind of went away. We needed to get back to it today.

We kind of relaxed a little bit, but we were still getting hands up in some people's faces and they were just hitting shots.

We were right there. We've just got to keep pushing. We are going to be a good team, we've just got to do a couple of things to tighten it up.

We're not satisfied with being 8-8 in the league. I feel we're playing pretty good basketball right now. If we keep it up for 40 minutes, I think we're going to be a good team (in the postseason).
