It was tough losing games we should have won, based on execution and rebounding. It was the small things that good teams should do.

We've been on the losing end of a lot of close one-goal games and fortunately tonight, we did a lot of good things.

Perfect throw, right on the money. It all boils down to execution. When you execute, that's the result.

I don't think our team was ever cocky. But you kind of get casual. When we went to the Wyoming tournament, we were picked to win, and we kind of got casual.

It was kind of a new thing to us, because in Conference USA we'd always been the underdogs. Then we were picked at the top of this conference. (The rough start) wasn't so much a letdown, but media-wise, we didn't meet expectations, or our team's.

I don't think anything was lost. You've got to take it game by game. (Xavier) could lose another game, and we could win the rest of ours.
