It's awfully hard to give a hot-shooting team like that a double-digit lead and come back. But our kids gave it a great effort and we crept back in it a number of times.

They just double-team so hard. At times they would just take the ball away from me. I couldn't see the weak side to find that open man. We know we can play. We have learned from the experience of playing without McGrady and know we can still compete.

They're playing awfully well. They're shooting so well. They're just not missing.

We're just not a good shooting team. When some teams get down double figures a couple of three's can get them right back into it but we don't shoot well from the outside so we can't come back from big deficits. But give Guilford credit. They beat us to every loose ball and out hustled us all game.

The first two quarters of last year were OK but not stellar. If we still have double digit increases in earnings during the third quarter, that would be good news.

Our goal all year long has been not to give up any double-digit quarters. We've had momentary lapses when we go to sleep or when teams are shooting well. Hopefully, we'll limit those from here on out (in the playoffs).
