00:00 That was a really tough game, kind of start to finish.

00:05 That's a very physical team we just played.

00:10 I think our lack of physicality,

00:15 in particular on offense, led us to have

00:20 very sloppy offensive possessions.

00:25 When you couple that with not making really any shots,

00:30 I think early in the game we got a bunch of open looks and didn't make any of them.

00:35 Playing against that team in transition over and over and over again is difficult.

00:40 It was a lot of things wrapped into one

00:45 that led to a bad game. But I think ultimately it stemmed

00:50 from a lack of physicality on our part.

00:55 They took advantage of that. We knew coming into the game that's a big

01:00 physical team and we needed to play our most

01:05 physical game of the year, which we did not. We definitely needed to do

01:10 all the little things as a group because any daylight that group gets because of how much

01:15 bigger they are than our team, they're going to put a lot of pressure on the rim.

01:20 I think the biggest positive for me right now is

01:25 that we get to play again tomorrow and hopefully eliminate this from our brain.
