00:00Well, it was a very painful one.
00:04It was a very painful second half.
00:06Painful to be a part of, painful to watch.
00:10Especially being in front of our home crowd.
00:13You know, we wanted to be better than that.
00:15I thought we played a really good...
00:18We did everything we wanted defensively.
00:20We held guys down.
00:22But when they started to stretch the lead a little bit,
00:25got some open threes,
00:28you know, a couple turnovers on our part.
00:30I think we just kind of deflated
00:32and lost our energy.
00:35And it was hard to chase those guys.
00:39You know, they're the number five team in the world.
00:43And it's amazing, you know,
00:44the players that they can just bring over
00:48and be that good.
00:52We had Pepper on our sights,
00:54but we couldn't stop Pepper.
00:58Creek played really well.
00:59Handled the ball well.
01:01Wilson played well.
01:05And like I said,
01:06I thought we played a good first half.
01:09I felt like we should have had the lead
01:10at the end of the first half.
01:12We just didn't make some of the shots that...
01:15It's been a struggle for us both games
01:16that we played, you know, shooting the ball.
01:21And we didn't get some of the shots that we wanted.
01:23And we went down by five at halftime.
01:27But we felt we had a good shot.
01:28We came out third quarter,
01:29made a turnover right off the bat.
01:31And they turned it into a three-point play.
01:33And suddenly, you know,
01:35they were off to the races.
01:37Very, very painful here at home.
01:40You know,
01:41just doing that in front of the whole crowd
01:43was tough.
01:45Hey, Coach,
01:46do I have your thoughts on the game?
01:48I mean, I agree with Coach.
01:50The first half,
01:51we played good defense.
01:53The game was close, you know.
01:55And then,
01:56going into the second half,
01:58you know,
01:58we just had to step it up a little bit.
02:00I guess they just came out with more energy.
02:03And a couple of our mistakes
02:06led to their threes.
02:07And then they were just on a roll from there.
02:09So,
02:10it got away from us.
02:11And it just,
02:12it's a bad feeling to lose by that much at home.
02:16But,
02:16I mean,
02:17a loss is a loss either way.
02:18You lose by 30,
02:19you lose by one.
02:19It doesn't feel good.
02:21So,
02:22you just got to keep improving.
02:24And then,
02:24you know,
02:25we're going to play them again
02:26in July.
02:27And we got to be better by then.
02:30Thanks,
02:30Corey.
