The fourth got us. We had some easy opportunities to score but just didn't convert. (Los Banos) really turned up the D and we had a hard time scoring.

All year, the thing that has kept us in games is our defense. But on Friday night, we broke down on responsibilities, broke down on close outs. It was by far the most 3s we've given up in a game. They were extremely hot, but at the same time, we didn't do anything to stop it. We just kept daring them to shoot it.

Tanaka's our only true ball handler and he never came off the floor. They kept throwing different guys at him. Eventually we wore down and made some turnovers.

They gutted it out and played pretty well.

We lost to a very good team. They're tough to beat in their place.

It's a challenging time for the kids. We really need a win to keep our heads above water. It's not that we're playing to lose. We're playing hard and the kids are giving it all they got, it's just every game is something different. We've had a chance to win every game, but we're just not getting the breaks down the stretch. A mistake here, turnover there has been the difference.
