00:00 >> Is it especially disappointing, cuz I remember sitting in here and
00:03 I remember with you, all these veteran guys, two Kentucky starters.
00:07 You're a lot better than 14 to 12 team.
00:09 >> Yeah. >> It's still,
00:10 that's what you've got is 14 to 12.
00:12 >> Yeah, yeah, you know what?
00:13 Obviously, we've lost a lot of close games, and it's frustrating.
00:19 We have a chance to make a foul shot and
00:22 beat a team that's a three seed in the NCAA tournament and walk off into the sunset.
00:27 You gotta be able to execute down the stretch.

00:30 Stop here, stop there.
00:32 You're three plays away from having three more quad one wins.

01:05 better.
01:05 But we just, close games, killer.
