The kids played hard and haven't quit. If we play the way we did in the first half, we can compete with anybody. Their second five showed no drop off from their first five, and they wore us down. There's not much you can do with the numbers they have versus the numbers we have.

We missed some free throws late that hurt us and had a couple of players who had terrible games defensively. We're not good enough to win tight games right now. We've got a few guys who aren't bothered by losing games, but it bothers me. I hate to lose.
