We're still in good shape in the Big East, we just can't keep dropping points. [Saturday] we dropped critical points. Both teams knew it was a six-pointer. It's a major blow to us. Its something we're going to have to fight back from.

I think that the scoring line flattered them a bit, but having said that, we've played about five very good games in a row and this was not one of them. I think it's definitely a step backwards. We've been making progress as a young group and we stopped making progress last night. We did ourselves an injustice.

We've got a big game on Saturday, and we could do with taking three points.

We've got to get back at it. We've got to get two points on Saturday just to keep pace. Every game is huge. We have to get points in every game we play from here on in. We let one, maybe two, slip away against San Jose, so we have to try to get two back on Saturday.

In the second half we came out and changed our lineup. We came out with renewed enthusiasm and passion. But we made mistakes. The whole group was doing well in the second half, but we couldn't generate enough scoring opportunities.

We've put together some good second halves. Against Highline (on Saturday), we held them to 29 second-half points.
