Obviously the threes hurt ordsprog

Obviously the threes hurt us, but if we'd have shot better than 21 percent from the field and 40 percent from the line, we'd have been right there.

We stepped up defensively. We held Stockton to no threes, and 30 percent shooting from the field. Unfortunately, we only shot 28 percent from the field. Some timely threes from Donovan kept us in the game.

For us, it was a game we had to grind it out. It wasn't always our style of play. ... Tonight was about consecutive stops and defending the 3-point line. They shot 19 percent from the 3-point line and 39 percent from the field. That was the difference.

I've often said the greatest equalizer in college basketball is the 3-point line. They outscored us by 12 from the 3-point line. Our inability to limit them to one shot and inability to guard the 3-point line cost us. Anytime a team can come into your building and shoot 53 percent from the field and 47 percent from the 3-point line, you have to have a very, very good night on offense.

We shoot 48.9 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3-point range, 86.7 percent from the line and get beat. It's hard to swallow.

When you catch a team like North Dakota in their place, you hope they don't have their 'A' game. They shot 50 percent from the field, which is excellent. And they shot 32 percent from 3-point range, which is adequate. Of course, they shot 31 3s, so that's great. And they did a good job on the boards.

On the year we were about 56 percent from the line. Today we shot 80 percent in the second half and 76 percent for the game.

Stout outplayed us. You have to give them credit. We shot 37 percent (from the field), which was the worst we shot all year and they shot 41 percent. You have to put the ball in the basket and you can't give up 84 points.

We actually played pretty well. We shot 53 percent from the field and I thought we defended real well. The issue really is that Southwest 71 percent from the field, and that's to their credit. Our kids responded and took every punch. I was proud of how they responded.

We've got to work on our foul shots. I told the kids we need to be about 70 percent from the line and we are still shooting 50 percent. That can hurt you in games like this.

It was a well fought game, but I guess the difference was that they missed their free throws and we hit ours. We shot 60 percent and they shot 25 percent from the free throw line.

You don't shoot 57 percent from the field and 59 percent from the three-point line and get your (butt) beat very often.

The big focus for us was the three-point line. I think we were able to hold them without a three-point shot for the first 35 minutes. We shot 34 percent in the first half, but the fact that we shot 40 percent from three-point line in the first half gave us a five-point lead.

If you had told me we would shoot 35 percent (actually 35.1) from the field and 52 percent (52.9) from the free-throw line, I'd have said we would have a very hard time winning.
