Postgame Quotes 

Lamont Paris, Head Coach
Overall thoughts after 70-59 loss.
"No question. It's a surprisingly poor performance. There was a lot, we were shorthanded, but it was just a poor performance. There's no excusing that away. We played poorly in a lot of ways. They are aggressive and this is the second time we played an aggressive team, going back to Charleston, and they were just more aggressive. I expected us to play better, especially shooting, but when you don't, you have to compete better and you hope that's enough to get you a win. We just weren't ready."
 
On matching up with physicality.
"You have to just play. There's a lot of stuff, trust me. There wasn't anything malicious, there's just a couple things. You have to play through that and get on to the next. That's what their game plan was, they're a little undersized but we'll push you away from the basket. That's where that stuff has a cumulative effect on you."
 
On the main problem tonight.
"We just weren't ready. It's OK. Sometimes a guy isn't ready to play, that happens at that age. But when you have multiple guys, not ready to play, that's not evidenced by their shooting ability, but there's a bunch of things. They just weren't ready for some reason."
