We battled, defensively we were terrific. But it came down to our turnovers and the rebounds hurt us. We all know we missed shots. We didn't mean to, but we did but we battled and just couldn't get it done.
They are very aggressive with the trapping. They trapped Eric and Galin had a really hard time early on. They're a really good defensive team, their steals is what they do and their five man can really move and guard, he's terrific.
We could have put some pressure on them, when you get steals you need to get buckets. We missed the wide open three and the lay in and then we get frustrated. But it isn't from a lack of effort, our guys competed our tails off. We just didn't make a lot of shots tonight.
When you miss the FT to start the second half, it's frustrating. The turnovers are frustrating too, but you have to give credit to their defense. We just need to make a couple of threes and it could have changed the game, but we didn't. We have to get better with execution. We've gotten better and we can still get better so that's what we've got to do as coaches.
Their defense is really good and their pressure bothered us. Eric was really the only guy we felt could make any shots tonight, just trying to figure out ways to get shots, but I've just got to watch film.
