I think they're a top 15 team in the country. I'm not sure there are 15 teams better than them. We had key defensive stops at key times. Collectively, the defense won the game for us.
More Quotes from Mark Gottfried:
We're a team that needs to avoid foul trouble. It hurt our ability to score. That was a big factor.Mark Gottfried
We had missed foul shots, we took four or five bad shots that we had not taken in a while and they had made some tough ones. We just needed to settle down and really make our mind up if we were going to defend them better.

There's no magic wand you can wave over your team. I know the one response you cannot have is to get down and get disappointed. I don't think our team will do that. Injuries are part of the game. When I was in Kuwait coaching, there was a sign that said 'Adapt and overcome.' That's what we are going to have to do.

That was a lot to do with them, a lot more than what we were doing wrong.
