We needed to get out of Syracuse. We need to be road-tested. You get a good idea of where your team is at when you play on the road.
More Quotes from Gerry McNamara:
We put ourselves in a bigger hole than we were already in. So we have some work to do on Sunday because we need it.Gerry McNamara
You know, it was our time. We wanted to come down here and try to win it.
Gerry McNamara
I just had a tough time finding some open looks. I got a good look on my first shot and a good look on my last shot. Other than that, I was just trying to make something happen. I probably should have taken only three or four shots, but they did a good job of locating me.
Gerry McNamara
I wouldn't say we're not giving our 100 percent effort. There are breakdowns. When we break down (defensively) and give (opponents) open shots, they're going to make them. ... The second half we let down again. It's both. You have to want to win the game, and you have to be smart doing it.
Gerry McNamara
The bottom line is, you have to win. You have to go down there with the same mentality as if you were a No. 1 seed or a No. 16 seed. We've had good seeds in the past. We had a good seed last year, and look where it got us. We have to go down there with the mentality that we still have a lot to prove. We still think we can hopefully make some noise in this tournament.
Gerry McNamara
It's tough to go out with a loss, but if I'm going to lose my last game in the dome, it's going to be to a top-five team, and they're as good as any team in the country. I'm happy to say we stuck with them every step. It came down to the end, and they just had a little more.
