It's still a work in progress. Not having a preseason game hurt us. We've got a bunch of kids who can throw strikes. And I've got to get the best bats in the lineup somewhere.

When (Brantley) got hurt that gave us an opportunity to really work the inside game. Once we did that, we were able to hit some outside shot and that really got things going for us.

Their physical size hurt us. They have more kids than we do and they wore us down. They executed well. They made fewer mistakes tonight.

Their size did hurt us. No. 31 (Juric) is a really nice post player, but they made shots when they needed to.

They shot the ball extremely well at their place. Their 3s hurt us at Mann. When we played here, we really tried to stress defending the 3, and I thought we did a pretty good job. They scored 66 here, and they scored 86 at their place.

We didn't identify Dozier coming into the game and his penetration hurt us. Then, they started looking post to post against our box-and-one and that's how you beat any zone defense.
