Coach Wes Unseld Jr.
"Didn't think we had a, you know, a strong defensive presence. You know, there was some stretches, but just not enough. Not enough consistency there. You know that we talked about the paint being an issue. We did a much better job on the glass. So you know, that's certainly a, but you know, I think from the start a little slow picked it up early. Then that lead stretch in the third into the third and the start of the 4th. That really caused caused a lot of damage."
Kyle Kuzma
"They have the luxury to play big and switch one through 5 and do those type of things we can't, you know, we have to play a certain type of way. So we just have to figure it out with what we have"
Corey Kispert
"About midway through the third quarter into the third quarter, we kind of let them get to us a little bit with their pressure get to us. They play more physical than us and started getting easy buckets. We can get stopped so you know six or seven point lead turned into 20 pretty quick."
