Head Coach Jim Boylen
We went through droughts offensively. We've had that happen this year too often. Have to recover from 10 , 12 point deficits, fight our way back. Been doing that for 31 games. Some nights we win, some nights we don't. Tonight we just didn't have enough to keep the run going.
I thought we ran the ball. I thought we ran the ball pretty well all night. I thought we pushed tempo at times during that stretch. I thought we pushed the tempo. But first we got stops. You know, you get stops, and then everybody talks about shrinking a lead with scoring. Obviously that's important, but you got to get the stops first. I thought we were really dominant defensively in that stretch. Too often this year, it's been the defense keeps us in it, but we get in the hole because we're poor offensively.
I thought my team played very hard throughout the year. We were at the top of the league defensively most of the year, number one three-point defense, blocked shots. But we're a weak team. We have to get physically stronger. We need the summer, spring, summer and fall to do that. We've got to get stronger as a group of men.
I want to say something real quick about my seniors. Luka Drca, Kim Tillie, terrific students. 3.3 both of them. Both going to graduate. Gave them everything we had. Kim was hurt tonight. His ankle was bad. He wanted to play. We played him. They've been two great Utes. They've won a lot of great games here the last three years, so I'm proud of them.
