00:00 That was a very hard fought game against a good team.
00:06 I think if nothing else it shows our group that we're capable of playing with really
00:14 anybody.
00:17 But for us to get to be where we would like to be as a team in a place where we're really
00:24 winning at a high level, we've got to continue to grow from an execution standpoint and being
00:33 able to squeeze a game.
00:36 We did a lot of hard work to get ourselves into a close game at the end.
00:41 And winning and losing, there's always a very fine line.
00:43 It's always little things on both ends of the floor that ultimately decide who wins
00:47 and loses.
00:49 And I thought tonight we had a couple of lapses late in the game on both sides of the ball
00:57 that ended up pushing them over the hump.
01:03 But that's a really good team we just played.
01:06 They played a good game.
01:07 I am proud of the way that our team fought and hung in.
01:11 I thought it was a great environment in there tonight.
01:15 And I think these types of games, as a coach you hate moral victories and all that crap.
01:23 But these types of games do show your team that you're not that far away.
01:31 You're never really that far away.
01:33 But the teams in the league that make the most growth are generally the ones that are
01:40 able to dig in on all the little things because that's really the deciding factor between
01:46 winning and losing.
