Our defensive presence was there ? they had 23 turnovers. Our (turnovers) came in stretches that led to points for them, especially in the first half.

We didn't come out ready to play. They're a good team and well coached, and you're not going to beat anybody when you start that way.

There's a reason Cory Davis is getting a Division I scholarship. He's a difference maker, not only for them but for everyone in the league.

They were really physical inside and pushed us away from the basket. We didn't get the ball inside like we need to do. That's partly our fault and partly due to good defense.

That's kind of their trademark, to play hard and apply pressure. I think we came out a little timid and didn't attack their pressure like we probably should have. And that was the difference in the game as far as our approach to attacking their pressure.

We managed to hang on. We didn't do a good job of putting them away when we could have.
