We have nothing to lose. We're just going to go in there and compete and play hard.

Our kids battled admirably. But we had too many unforced turnovers, and we would miss two free throws and they would score, and then miss another and they'd score. It's hard to trade zero for three like that, and we gave them too much of that.
