They survived our run. I thought we took some of their primary options away offensively but we couldn't do it over 40 minutes. They tired us out and we turned it over too much.
More Quotes from Ritchie McKay:
That's as close to a loss in The Pit as we have had in a long time. Antoine Hood - one of the best guards in the league - was driving down the lane with less than 20 seconds.Ritchie McKay
I don't think we thought we were going to lose the game, or the game was in danger. So I don't think we were sharp. I think we thought we could cruise to victory. There are not many cruise games in Division I basketball.
