You don't mind losing but we didn't even compete. This wasn't Hillhouse or West Haven. We're relying on the jump shot because we're not getting anything inside and when the shots don't drop we struggle.

I just don't know what happened. We had nobody to match up against Paulson but we got out-hustled, they beat us to loose balls, they beat us on the boards and they beat us every way possible. This was as flat as we've been in 11 games. There's no excuses.

We tried to take advantage of Zimmer's height advantage thinking that one-on-one he would either get the shot off or get fouled but they defended it well.

This was like a playoff game for us. I thought if we could get this one and even with Hillhouse coming up next we had four games left I thought we could win. Now the Hillhouse game becomes a playoff game.

Defensively we played good and we only gave up 43 but offensively our shooting was horrendous. We kept getting pretty good looks but nothing seems to be going our way.

We had no intensity on defense to start and they just ran up and down the floor on us but we came back a little in the second half. We needed to get our shooters better looks when we got it back to six or eight, but we ended up turning the ball over and then they get easy baskets the other way. We need to be more patient on offense.
