And as I said, we played very hard in the last three games. We played very well, we scored a lot of points in two of those games. Defensively, we were doing what we needed to do. And so this is surprising, it’s surprising to us, the coaching staff. I’m sure our players are surprised that we didn’t play better tonight. And our fans, we had great support tonight, and we’re disappointed that we didn’t perform to the level that we expected ourselves to.”

I don’t know if that’s what it was to me,” Cross said. “At some point you have to get sick and tired of getting pushed around on the boards, on the ball screens. At some point you get sick and tired of that and have to get it done. rebounding on the defensive end. Even if you’re not scoring, you can stop the [other] team from scoring.
“We have to know that in practice and in games that every time a team pushes us, the hands can’t go in the air every time. If they are going to hit you, why can’t you hit them? At some point pride has to set in for all of us. That’s not [me] pointing fingers, that starts with me and every single person on the team.”
