“We were playing so well for the first 30 minutes. We got away from our structure. We had individual breakdowns and got beat one-on-one. There are no excuses on our end. I thought we would be a little tired from our three-in-three and them waiting for us, but we had a 4-1 lead. We went to sleep… They are a team that is struggling, and we gave it to them. That one is really going to hurt.”
