We wanted to get ordsprog

We wanted to get at least six points in those five possessions.

Thirteen points is a lot to come back from, but we got their lead down to two points. That's four possessions we can't give away.

You have to have a cushion and hope that he (Bryant) doesn't go crazy on you. If you are five or six points up, for him that is only two possessions. The way he is playing right now, you can't take anything for granted. I thought we did a pretty good job but lost concentration and he got 20 points in the fourth.

We've hit this stretch of -- let's say -- four turnovers in five possessions or seven turnovers in eight possessions. The game breaks open and they put points on the board quickly. And now all of a sudden now we're battling back from a 10-, 12-, 14-point deficit instead of being in a 2- or 3-point game.

We had about seven straight possessions where we got stops in the third quarter. We really stepped up our defense tonight. We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half and not letting them have second chance points. I think half their points were in transition off turnovers.

That was one of the worst (possessions) I've ever been around. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. We had a chance to get to 14 points.

Arkansas scored 25 points on fast breaks, and I guarantee the majority of those fast break points were off of our carelessness. When you shoot 49 percent from the field and 67 percent from the three-point line and you see 17 turnovers, you'd like to have a few more possessions.

We were exhausted after making up 15 points. I think we needed two possessions more.

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.

The first couple of possessions I wanted to get ball in my hands and feel good about myself. I wanted to find my rhythm real quick and was able to knock a few shots down to get my confidence up.

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 know we had it down to three [points] for about three or four possessions late. We just rushed things and turned over the basketball.

They're aggressive, so we wanted to go hard at them, get to the line and knock down our free throws so that we'd be in a position to win the game. I knew Ostertag had five fouls, so I really wanted to attack him because he clogs that middle up, gets those tip-ins and gets extra possessions for them.

We're just trying to get points. Obviously we wanted two and wanted to win in regulation, but you know the way we played the last two periods I think we're very fortunate to get two points.

They absolutely crushed us on the boards. They had a ton of second chance points and that's what I look at. You can't go into Morgan and give them 12 or 16 extra possessions.
