They’re a good team,“And they steamrolled us. They’re better than we are. If we played them 10 times, I’m not sure we can beat them. Maybe once — get lucky on a neutral court — but they’re just flat better than us.

We can sit here and pontificate about anything else you want … they’re flat better than us and they’re better coached. [Ryan] Odom has done a much better job than I have.”

We didn’t move the ball, we couldn’t get clean looks,”and the clean looks we get, we didn’t hit.”
