00:00I got to do a better job, make sure we get better shots, and taking care of the ball.

00:06You didn't have any turnovers today, but there were some in the first half.

00:09I think Trey had three in the first half.

00:11Some other missed free throws and things that we were undoing.

00:14Pretty tough to win that way on the road.

00:16Yeah, definitely.

00:17I'll say we've got to clean up the turnovers.

00:19Obviously, we're giving them extra excessions.

00:21We're taking away shots for ourselves.

00:24At a turnover, we just don't really give ourselves a chance to get a shot up, to even make it.

00:30We definitely got to do a better job at that.

00:32I'll say the free throws, I missed a couple.

00:36We missed a couple.

00:38That's our bread and butter.

00:40Getting to the foul line, making free throws.

00:42That's something that we have to do in order to win.

00:44You missed eight in a six-point game.

00:47What was different today?

00:48You guys have been shooting them so well.

00:51Definitely, we just got to make them.

00:54I don't really think there's anything different or nothing changed today.

00:57We just got to go up there and step up to the line.

00:59We got to make free throws.

01:00Did USC do anything you didn't expect?

01:02The center standing in paint, it kind of threw me off a little bit at least.

01:09I thought it was a zone, but it was kind of a man.

01:12Once we started to figure that out, we slowly started to get back in the game.

01:16They had a good game plan.

01:19We really wasn't able to get out of the transition.

01:21We didn't really get a lot of stops, so that kind of hurt us.

01:25We didn't get any clean rebounds.

01:27Getting a start like that, you said down 21-7.

01:31How do you fight back from something like that?

01:33It's hard.

01:34You got to try to slowly chip away one bucket at a time.

01:38You have to get stops.

01:42We got to make free throws and take care of the ball.

01:44It's just all around.

01:46I don't think we did those things to win the game today.
