00:00You know, we kind of put fool's goal that first half.
00:08You know, we hit those shots and, you know,
00:12then we just gave up easy baskets in transition
00:14and the game got too easy.
00:17You know, both teams shoot 45, 47%.
00:20You know, you take out the free throws.
00:23You know, they shot a little better from three.
00:25We shot a little better from two.
00:29But, you know, it just we gave up too many easy baskets
00:33with that lead just wanting to outscore them.
00:36And that's not us.
00:37That's not the way.
00:39We got out-rebounded the first half.
00:40We gave up easy baskets.
00:44And that's just not the way we need to play.
00:47And so, again, I can't fault their effort.
00:52They got down 11, fought their tails off to come back.
00:56We just didn't do the things necessary to win the game.
