00:00 >> Points, they shot 54% from the floor.

00:03 Why were they so difficult to defend?

00:08 >> We owe them credit, they made shots.

00:12 And then our end, we didn't make it hard enough for them.

00:15 Carter got it going early, seen a couple go through.

00:19 We're good players, once they see a couple drop, they're gonna continue to play well.

00:26 So we gotta do a better job of taking the main guys away, but

00:30 you gotta take out some that came in and played well.

00:33 >> And we've seen this before this year where one guy can have a big night,

00:41 Conner coming in and had a 31.

00:43 Just it feels like a lot like this season has been that.

00:49 >> Yeah, man, you just- >> Really the whole game you play well,

00:53 but down the stretch, you just put them on his back and

00:58 single handedly fought us off from coming back, so I'm giving him credit.

01:03 He made a couple tough ones, but when somebody that good gets going early,

01:09 I mean, now that he's throwing a rock in the ocean, everything feels good to him.

01:16 >> And then with that, you got your down three, a minute left,

01:21 you kind of need that one stop to kind of give yourself a chance.

01:24 What happened on that play?

01:26 I believe that Isaiah kind of drove it in the middle,

01:28 ran into a road stop, and then just was able to get something up.

01:32 >> He made a play.

01:36 He's a good player and he made something out of nothing.

01:40 He couldn't get the stop, so.

01:42 >> Has this just kind of been a microcosm today of over the season?

01:47 I mean, you guys have a talented team.

01:48 You beat UCLA, you beat Gonzaga earlier, but

01:51 you haven't been able to have a run this year.

01:55 >> Yeah, we haven't been able to train consecutive good nights together.

02:02 Our energy wasn't here tonight.

02:05 I know it's no excuse, it's a senior night, but

02:09 it's a lot going on, a lot you gotta deal with.

02:11 But when it's time to step on the court, we gotta do a better job of, okay,

02:17 we've been celebrating now, now it's time for business, it's time to go and play.

02:21 We didn't do that tonight.
