They played us tough so you have to give them credit. But I look at it like, a lot of us, especially me, just had a bad night.

After Santa Barbara, everyone knew that we had to come out with a different level of intensity and a different level of focus that maybe we hadn't had. The Cal Poly players were kind of jawing at us before the game and got us fired up.

We kept fighting, we didn't stop guarding.

We definitely learned from [the Fullerton game]. We wanted to make sure that with the lead we stayed aggressive. More than anything, stay aggressive on defense and not let up because the game's not over until the clock runs down.

Maybe it'll be a good thing. Maybe we just need to get out of here and just say it's us or nothing.

I think that's what coach Walker did when he got here was to make us believe that we're always the underdog. And we've been the underdog a lot. But as far as losing, that doesn't help at all. We need to turn the corner. We need to have a snowball effect with winning, not the other way around.
