They (Minnesota) shot 67 percent in the first half and 55 percent for the game with 40 points in the paint. That's not really the trademark of how we want to play.

That was the difference. We shot well enough in the first half (51.2 percent) to be up by more than three.

The first half we came out sluggish. We shot 22 percent in the first half.

We looked like we were lethargic out there. We shot 50 percent in the first half, and had 16 turnovers to go with that, which is not acceptable. The second half was a disappointment not only with the choice of shots, but with the execution. Golden State had something to do with that.

They shot 57 percent in the first half and in the second half, every big basket that they had to have, we had a defensive breakdown. I don't think we were mentally or physically sharp tonight and as a result Elon, a club that's been kind of laying in wait ... coming in fresh, shoots the ball well and gets out of here with a win.

It's so important to stay in rhythm. If that was our first playoff game, that would have been very concerning.
