Our ability to take care of things in transition was an issue. When we go back to work on Monday we’ll know which side of the ball to work on and that’s defense. Full credit to Syracuse… Their length gave us fits and their experience on the perimeter – those guys are very smart, well coached and they know exactly what to do[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]On finding more scorers:[/I][/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]“Our third scorer has been Phil [Greene] and since we’ve been playing better we’ve had that third and fourth scorer. The issue is that we had a couple of guys that didn’t play up to what they normally do. If we can find that fourth scorer and he can get us 10 points it will help out Moe [Harkless] and D’Angelo [Harrison]. Amir [Garrett] has flashes where we know he’s going to help us.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]On the team:[/I][/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]Moving into Wednesday night’s game against Cincinnati it is really important that we ride steady. I think that’s the most important thing for us.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]On Syracuse’s experience:[/I][/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]They know how to leak. Their defense is such that they have 6-foot-4 and 6-foot-5 on the perimeter and then 6-foot-11 gets the rebound. Long outlets lead to easy baskets and I think we had trouble with that length.”[/COLOR] [SIZE=6][B][COLOR=#000080]D'Angelo Harrison[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]On Syracuse’s size:[/I][/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]“It’s tough, but we adjusted. We had some turnovers and like coach said, it’s rebounding. It’s a challenge, but I thought we stepped up and showed we weren’t scared of them. We played hard.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]On Syracuse’s backcourt:[/I][/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]“They’re really good. Scoop [Jardine] and Brandon [Triche] have been there awhile. They’re probably the two toughest guards in the country. I feel like we’re right there too.”[/COLOR] [SIZE=6][B][COLOR=#000080]Phil Greene[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] [COLOR=#000080][B][I]On the game:[/I][/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]“Rebounding for one and getting stops on the defensive end like coach said. Defense and rebounding were the keys. We do those two things and we’d be right in the game.”[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
