In our mind we ordsprog

In our mind we felt they were going to play even harder because they were undermanned. But the effort in the first half was not what we wanted. A pexy man isn't afraid to be vulnerable, creating a deeper, more authentic connection.

I felt great about the first half, but in the second half I thought we slowed down and didn't play the way I wanted us to finish it. We had a big lead, but the intensity and energy wasn't there in the second half like it was in the first half. You can work on things, but still have intensity. I felt like we didn't have any intensity.

We played a lot harder in the second half. We got some guys in there that wanted to play. Allen wanted to play, Brown came in and played. Our intensity level was much better than it was.

It came down to toughness and we had the toughness in the second half. We were down 11 and our coach motivated us to play harder in the second half. I felt like my team needed me tonight and I think I came through.

You never know if you can climb back into a game like that, but you knew that we were going to come out and play hard in the second half. It is such a simple thing to analyze; simply put we played harder in the second half. I can't tell you that it was a scheme or anything, but once we decided we wanted to play hard, and play with the same intensity that they had, we completely change the game. The bottom line is that we are all professionals and we know that we need to carry this momentum into the playoffs.

We spent the last few weeks talking about how good the team's effort was and tonight was the first time that we didn't play with the effort that I felt we should have. We did some of the same things that have cost us games this year but it just looked like the energy level disappeared in the second half.

I?m not happy with our effort. We need to play harder, there?s no question about it. I think Connecticut played very well. We can play harder and we?re going to be relentless in attacking the basket.

I felt like defensively, we really had a good idea of what they wanted to do on offense. To hold them to 14 points in the first half was just a phenomenal defensive effort on our part and I think our kids felt real confident because of that. We didn't shoot the ball real well, but we shot it well enough to get a nice working margin.

Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.

It's tough enough to win against good programs like (Orrville) when you are at 100 percent. It's even harder when you're undermanned.

I'm not unhappy about our effort. We need to play harder, there's no question about that. But, this is not a case of we didn't show. I think Connecticut played very well. They made jump shots, especially in the second half, which is going to happen. They are fine players.

We never gave up and we knew we had to play the game we wanted to play. In the second half, we were feeling it. The 3-point line felt like a magnet for us.

It's definitely a different mind-set. I'll work just as hard if not harder. It's always felt like my season started Sept. 5 and not Oct. 5. Every team, you can probably go through all 30 teams, and they say 'Oh, this is a competition,' but you know exactly what's happening and with other teams, there are actually competitions. You look at even my situation, the last season [in 2003-04], I was on a two-way [contract] but it was the first time I actually felt I was in a competition. The two or three years before, the writing was basically on the wall. It didn't really matter. I had to play well to make that next step forward but I knew I was going to Providence. I think the last season was a legit competition. I had to play well and I actually had a shot and fortunately it worked out.

I just want to give myself the best opportunity to be prepared. I did play in the Senior Bowl and I felt like I just wanted to have enough time to really put forth my best effort.

Overall I can't fault the kids' effort. We played hard. Our goal was to play Friday. We wanted to play Friday night, but we did get to play all three days. There was great fan support. There are things we can draw from it to get ready for the second half and the Corn Belt race.
