Drone just ripped the ball out of someone's hands. It was very authoritative.

We seem to be entering another one of our cold stretches at a bad time. Also giving up lots of o-boards, but with our size disadvantage, that's not a surprise

We've got to learn how to finish games, regardless of who we're playing.

I thought late-game conditioning was supposed to be Coach Rhoades' calling card. I've seen a lot of late game collapses this year..

We don't have enough talent to go very deep on the bench no matter how well conditioned we are. We have to get to the line more. Conditioning doesn't help when you are hooting 19 or 20 less FTs.

This wasn't a conditioning issue, it was an issue of size and athleticism. We played plus for 40 minutes, and are lucky that they played down for 35.

Well, we beat the spread pretty easily

I think what got us in the end was UT capitalizing on shooting fouls and our own shots rolling out of the basket. Did not seem like a conditioning issue.

Down 2 with less than 4 minutes left we had two missed 3's that would have given us the lead. Things fell apart after that.

What got us in the end was UT having a 2+ inches and 15+ lbs advantage at every position. It's miraculous we kept it as close as we did. Hats off to our guys. What an effort.
