We needed this win. Can you imagine if we lost tonight, then lost to Peabody on Sunday and had a 5-game losing streak going into the tournament?

Like I've said 100 times, it's never pleasing to lose. We didn't do the things we needed to win tonight. We have poor execution. Back door cuts, post ups, it was just a lack of execution.

We played three straight nights, so we probably didn't have any gas left in our tank. That could be part of it, but we didn't have the legs tonight. Charlestown controlled the boards, and we certainly didn't help ourselves with the turnovers, either. We probably had ten in each half. There was a just a lack of energy and a lack of desire on our part.

They kept coming back. In one 20 second stretch I think it went from a very comfortable 16 point lead to nine, but overall Peabody couldn't keep up the pace.

We really struggled against that zone because we went ice cold. We seemed to only be able to generate offense off some offensive rebounds or some steals.

We're going to win Sunday. I guarantee it.
