It was disappointing. But it's like I told the team. You learn the most from your disappointments. If that's really the case, we have some building block to work with after this game.
More Quotes from Jamie Dixon:
We've been able to celebrate Big East championships and NCAA Tournament appearances while playing in the sold out Petersen Events Center.

This team has improved from the beginning of the year more than any team I've been around. From the exhibition games through the 14 (regular-season) games, they've improved tremendously. But we have a lot of areas we can improve in. Maybe that's because of our youth.

We didn't shoot it great tonight and a lot of that has to do with the zone. I thought we got the ball inside when we wanted to. I thought we did a good job attacking but don't read too much into it. It was two teams playing hard and we came up a little bit short.

I think a lot of people underestimated our players. I knew from the first day the freshmen got here that they had a presence and a competitiveness and a work ethic that belied their age. I also thought Aaron Gray and Levon Kendall would be better than people thought.

I told him it's over and we're moving on. He missed it. No one feels worse than him. He's going to continue to work hard. He's going to work harder. He'll find a way. Shortly, we'll see him make a couple of free throws to win a game. He's handling it well.
