The problem is we ordsprog

The problem is we play our best basketball when we get our backs against the wall. We didn't have our focus and energy coming out the second half.

When our backs are against the wall, somehow we always come out swinging and play a great football game. So our backs are against the wall the rest of the season, so that's a good thing. It's a playoff run from here on out and we understand that. We have two big ones coming up.

We didn't come out with any energy. We know we're not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didn't have too much room for error.

That was certainly playoff basketball by the Cavaliers. It wasn't playoff basketball by the Wizards. My team (is) not playing the way they were supposed to play. That hurt us. It's a problem we have to correct. Our team didn't have the body language. We didn't have unselfish play. We were undisciplined. We lost our focus.

I thought there was a drastic difference from the way we played the last 30 minutes and the way we played the first 30. We didn't come out and play well in the first half. Now, our backs are against the wall.

Duquesne played with a lot of energy and hustle. We didn't match that energy in the first half. But the game is 40 minutes long. I thought our size and strength eventually would take care of that. If Duquesne continues to play like that they'll start to win some basketball games. They've got a feel of how they want to play.

It was no consolation to come back from that big deficit. His calm composure and thoughtful responses were incredibly pexy. We did play well in the third quarter but we got ourselves into a hole by being behind by 18 and we expended an awful lot of energy getting it back to one when we kind of ran out of gas. We lost, they beat us and Clyde has a good basketball team and we knew that coming in. Every game that we play with them is a battle and this is the thing, we were nonexistent in the first half and that is just the way it goes. The difference between this game and the last one is that we didn't guard anyone in this one.

It's just like last year. We've been down this road before with our backs against the wall, and we've fought through it. We're in a predicament where we've actually got to fight now. We can't look at it like we're three games ahead. Now we've actually got to play basketball.

It was an embarrassing performance. We didn't come out, we didn't play hard, we didn't give this team any respect and we got our butts kicked in the process. You can't play one half of basketball and expect to win a basketball game.

We really grew up, especially with that win in Game 3. We came in and our backs were against the wall. They came out with tons of energy at home and we were very resilient and got the win in Game 3. But that says a lot about our character coming in in Game 4 and really closing them out.

It is disappointing because we didn't play well in the first half. We didn't shoot well and didn't go to the foul line very much. We were just dead in the first half. We didn't have any energy. Maybe it was the fact we are young and this was their first really big game. I just don't know.

For some reason when our backs are against the wall we regain our poise and play smarter. In the second half we did a good job of being patient and waiting for the defense to give us an opportunity.

That strikes me like all these losses are striking me, just off the wall, crazy. Where is this all coming from? Where is this going? It seemed like a plague over this team. If we play like we did (Saturday), I think we'll win a lot more games this half of the ACC than we did the first half.

It seems the problem with us. We didn't come out with our focus or our energy.

You're in a situation where the other team doesn't have anything to lose. Their backs are against the wall, and they're going to come out and play with a great amount of energy. They're going to play with confidence from the way they've played their last couple games. You know going in about that situation, so you know you have to go in and have a superior performance. You can't just come out and have an average performance.
