00:00 >> So if everybody's ready, we'll go ahead and open up for questions for Brandon.
00:03 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:11 >> Can you just start by, as you mentioned, Sky, and just, I'm sort of tough,
00:16 it takes for him to play through his injury.
00:18 It's only been less than two weeks, but just his ability to come out and
00:23 play, and I'll be the leading scorer and rebounder tonight.
00:26 >> I say that's a true testament to our athletic staff,
00:30 making sure they're doing everything they can day in and day out,
00:35 to make sure that he's ready to play, making sure that he's comfortable to play.
00:40 He's a ward, so he went out there and did what he could.
00:45 So he's gonna keep trying to get up.
00:50 >> Yeah, you guys have been playing well at home, won your last two home games.
00:54 This is sort of a step back.
00:56 Have you processed at all, or
00:58 have an explanation of why you think it turned out this way tonight?
01:02 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:06 >> I don't really know, to be honest.
01:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:11 This is a game we came in and expected to win.
01:12 I think we got blasted by Notre Dame, which is a big team.
01:19 But we expect to win that game.
01:22 And I also can't, I didn't dominate the game how I expected to.
01:25 Which starts with me, I feel like I have to be better.
01:30 I know I will be better next game.
01:32 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:39 >> Brandon KP was in there, he said that he didn't mention he saw some guys,
01:43 looked a little lethargic, didn't have that energy needed to start this game and
01:46 play throughout it.
01:47 Did you sense that as well from some guys in the locker room?
01:51 And I guess, did you feel that it was a little bit flat?
01:55 >> Not really, I'm really just focused on really before the game,
02:00 myself, making sure I'm ready.
02:01 I'm in the right mindset, I do what I dare and do what I need to do.
02:06 I didn't feel like guys were tired or
02:12 feel lethargic or whatever, but I'm in the way I'm playing, so I don't see it all.
02:17 But I feel like we had brought good energy,
02:23 it's just I don't know how we fell apart.
02:26 >> Brandon, with losses like this after the game,
02:30 what is that reaction like in the locker room with both the players, the coaches?
02:34 Does it kinda get on you guys at all?
02:36 What is that message to you guys?
02:37 >> It's not really pleasant.
02:40 No one likes losing, but we expected to win this game.
02:46 And then they just blew it open in the second half,
02:50 pinned a lot of threes and stuff like that.
02:53 So the reaction isn't really pleasant.
02:55 So we just gotta go back to the drawing board as a team and fix it.
03:01 We have a week to prepare for Duke, so we're gonna shift our focus now.
03:06 >> Anything else for Brandon?
03:10 All right, thank you.
03:13 >> Thank you.
