We had our chances in the second half to make it a one-possession game and we didn't do it.

We got a lot of chances in the second half but we didn't convert them. But we'll take the one-nil advantage.

At least this game, we were in it. They had the cushion in the second half, but it wasn't a 30-point game. I was pleased with how we competed for 40 minutes.

We talked about it all week, how this could be the game that we throw it 50 times, and I think we almost did,

You enter the game and see what kind of game plan they have for you defensively. If they bring a bunch of guys down in the box that you figure are going to pressure a lot, there are big holes in the defense to take advantage. I felt like we were able to do that today.

Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.
