That's 11 possessions positive for them. In a tough grind-it-out game, you can't do that.

(Carlisle) limited our possessions tonight and that's to their credit. I thought it was a hard fought. They came prepared. I thought we made adjustments and put it away.

We didn't have a lot of open looks. Marshall was the more active and aggressive team.

That was critical. We didn't have (Peppers) in there and ... we were able to keep the game right there, keep it close and not lose any ground.

We had some good moments in the game, but that's not playing the game for the full 40 minutes like we needed to. You give up 16 turnovers to their (season-low) five, and that's just too much of a difference in a grind-it-out, possession-type game like this.

We came out in the second half with no life and our defense broke down.
