On the game as a whole: “They do a nice job of doing what they do. I felt that we played into their hands tonight. Congratulations to them for doing what they do well. I thought that Dan (Cage) was the difference in the game tonight. He is a solid perimeter player and he made some good shots. I thought Mario (Moore) did a nice job in the second half of getting our guys some easy looks from the floor. Their point guard had a real good offensive night for them. There were some positives out there tonight. This is historically a tough game for us coming out of finals week. We look to get better on Tuesday.”
On the season-high 19 turnovers: “We define turnovers in two categories: carelessness and selfishness. We looked a little out of sync. We have some players who are wallowing in their own problems instead of playing the game of basketball. We have some guys that are worrying about themselves. We need to lose ourselves into the team a little more. We will get that fixed.”
On the play of Dan Cage: “Dan is capable of a night like tonight. He picked a good night to do it. He had the courage a leader uses to step up when his team needs it. We had some guys in Dan and Ted (Skuchas) who gave us some good toughness tonight.”
