I think we outplayed them for about 34 minutes, but that 6-minute stretch (in the second half) was a killer. When they knocked down those threes, those were daggers.

We've got a hard stretch to start, but we're anxious to get to the meat of our schedule. We're a tired basketball team. The players need to not hear from the coaches for a while.

Our defensive pressure wore them down. We got some energy and some focus there with 4 minutes left in the first half. I thought it was a solid effort.

We had a stretch of about two minutes there in the second period where we came undone. We stayed with them well until then.

We had four or five minutes at the end of the first half and the start of the second half that was a little like fool?s gold. It gave us a lead, but that?s not the way the game was going to be played. They (Boston College) weren't going to quit.

Whatever it is -- the last five minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half -- if you're not ready to play, the game turns just like that. We've got to play a complete game. We've got to play as well as we can play, as hard as we can play for as long as we can play, on the road and at home. That's just what it is.
