The start is a ordsprog

The start is a key. We have to be prepared for a rough game that goes down to the last two or three possessions and find a way to win it.

We really struggled at the start of the game on the offensive end. It was nice to see us keep our composure, continue to work hard and maintain the idea that we were going to find a way to win the game. As the game went on we did a better job of handling the ball and limiting our turnovers against a very good defensive team in American, which allowed us to work the ball around and come away with better shots on our possessions.

It's kind of apropos for the year. It was a rough start and it will be a rough ending. At the same time, if you can win a game and you've got Senior Day, I don't see it being a major factor.

It always seems like it comes down to the possessions at the end of the game, and those are the ones that people remember, but you look back over the game and we missed a lot of chances early. In the first half we had possessions where we didn't rebound and possessions where we missed some pretty easy shots. Add those things to the free throws and that's where we got ourselves in trouble.

I don't know if we're consciously trying to do that but we talk about valuing the basketball and the possessions are longer. We've made the possessions longer defensively, playing some zones, and offensively our possessions are longer, too. In years past we just let Alvin Cruz push it up there and try to find somebody quick.

It's very slim. It can come down to one or two possessions or maybe even a couple of seconds. You just have to be prepared for every situation in the game and right now, and I don't think we have that focus or that intensity that we need.

We actually prepared for them today. We knew this was a possibility and we knew they were in the game. We watched tape of the game two years ago, and we practiced and prepared as if we were in this game. So we already got a head start.

We had a rough start. He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him. I had a rough start. They knew they needed to win, so they came out hard. Fortunately, we came out on top in the end. That's what counts.

I think Rondo is the best, most complete guard in the country. He has a unique way about him. He can change the game in one or two possessions because of his length defensively and his hands. That's something that we have to be prepared for.

Everybody was to blame. You have a chance to win on the road, and the last 10 possessions, you don't get many stops. That's what it comes down to. Forget everything that happened the first 40 minutes of the game. The last 10, 15 possessions, that really determines how this game adds up.

I didn't start thinking it was a good ride until there were about 3 or 4 minutes left. It's tough playing your last game. I am very proud of the guys, every single one of them. We had a hell of a season with that rough start (0-6) but we stuck together. We expected to make it past this game. That didn't happen tonight.

I thought the start of the third quarter really hurt us. We had three, four, or five possessions with pretty good looks at the basket and we just didn't score. You can't hold off good teams three or four possessions in a row.

We had a few very good possessions to start overtime. But it started with Lucas (Weaver) being a magician again. That's his game, chaos.

We did everything we could to change things up, and we still got off to a rough start. But we adjusted to what they were doing and had a shot at the end. It's easy in a consolation game to fold. It could have been a 30-point game.

They've learned that the game comes down to three or four possessions on offense, three or four possessions on defense. We're trying to teach our team all the time that momentum comes down to execution, that we build our breaks by the way we execute.
