UW forward Keion Brooks discusses the loss to Cal.
Transcript
00:00 >> Guys got them in Cal, did this one feel anything like that one?
00:03 And what was the difference tonight?
00:05 >> The difference tonight was out in Cal we executed down the stretch,
00:12 officially and defensively.
00:14 Tonight we did not.
00:16 We broke down late in the game.
00:20 Didn't make free throws, that hurts too.
00:23 We gave up two threes at the end of the game.
00:26 It's hard to win when you're giving up threes under four minutes.
00:31 >> Do you think that the story of the season will be like the late game
00:36 execution?
00:37 >> I don't know.
00:40 I think that's for somebody else to write what the story of our season is.
00:44 Can't get caught up in that.
00:45 We have some games left.
00:46 An opportunity to still make a push.
00:49 Gotta come back to practice on Monday and
00:53 iron some things out and continue to get better.
00:57 Can't be concerned with everything that's happened in the past already.
01:02 We gotta keep moving forward.
01:04 >> And then on their last play, it makes all the sense in the world to get
01:10 the ball out of Tyson's hands, but then to leave the other jail in open.
01:15 I forgot what you're shooting at.
01:17 I mean, he didn't have a great game of shooting, but
01:20 he came into the game as a pretty good three-point shooter.
01:23 >> Yeah, that's on me.
01:27 Helped a little too much.
01:31 Like you said, Tyson was, he had it going.
01:34 He wanted to get it out of his hands.
01:36 I helped in a little too much and he made up the shot.
01:46 Thank you.
01:47 >> Besides this outcome tonight, which is hard, are you disappointed?
01:55 This season had so much more promise, I mean, than 14 and 12.
01:59 You and Sevier, it was Kentucky starters, all the other veterans that showed up.
02:03 And it just, has it been hard maybe just to put it all together with all the veterans?
02:08 >> I mean, sometimes you gotta look at it as
02:15 luck hasn't always been on our side.
02:18 Battling injury bug all year, losing Frank was tough.
02:21 And then getting a whole bunch of new dudes come back together is hard.
02:27 I don't care if you're a freshman or a senior.
02:30 It's tough to get a whole bunch of new guys together and put a team together to win.
02:35 I'm proud of the way, as a lady, we've been playing hard and fighting.
02:42 It sucks that the outcome wasn't what we wanted it to be tonight.
02:45 But we can't sit here and still feel sorry for ourselves.
02:49 Got some practices and some games that we can get better.
02:54 So yeah, I look forward to that.
