We got some baskets in close and that opened up things on the outside. We came out of the gate strong, something we haven't been able to do much this year.

You can only close if you opened.

We're an immature team and you saw the difference tonight. We have a lot of things to fix before we face the Mountaineers.

We started out slow on offense, but I thought our defense held us in. It could have been a 20-point quarter, but we held them to 8. We played a lot better in the second quarter. We loosened up and got it down to a manageable deficit. It was only four a halftime.

Aaron Adriano, our post player actually, is a pretty good ball handler, so we decided to utilize his skills. We moved him up front. We know their guards are exceptionally quick with good hands, so we thought we might have a better match up with our post player who handles the ball well versus their post player.

We just didn't play hard, it's as simple as that. They worked harder than we did.
