Our defense is capable of shutting people down. That's our bottom line, and that's what we have to count on (Wednesday) night and throughout this tournament.

It's hard to look forward to next year right now, but I'm sure tomorrow I'll feel better thinking about next year. But it's hard right now, because we had a pretty remarkable year. We really overachieved.

It's disappointing. It really is. Watching the other games today, we felt like we could beat a lot of those teams. I tell you what, they're (St. Mary) the best five seed I've seen. They have a lot of seniors and juniors, and obviously we're young. That really showed tonight.

It was hard for us. We just didn't take care of the ball. But in many ways, it was good for us. It showed us how we need to deal with pressure better and make good passes.

We've been working on that ever since we found out we were playing them. We've been putting in some stuff and fine-tuning it in our zone offense.

They'll be a challenge to us in that they play 40 minutes of match-up zone, and we really haven't faced that.
