Coach Miles:

 

"We get careless in the 2nd half...it seemed like we had like 7 or 8 assists and 3 turnovers...and we end up with 10 assists and 16 turnovers."

 

"We didn't hardly finish any of them, but we survived."

 

"A lot of it's mental...understanding what play to make...we get too aggressive and then we get too tentative."

Didn't see it, was the GF's birthday celebration. About what I expected because of the future schedule coming up. A few years ago, we lose this game so I am proud of our guys for pulling this one out.
