Yeah, I mean, we were even pretty steady at half. I mean, we felt like we were out playing them.
It's just, you know, we just, we just kind of couldn't get out of our own way a little bit,
and that's gonna be probably a defining thing for this team going forward, right, how much
that we can do that. You know, I am proud though that we never wavered. I felt like the guys
didn't waver. The coaches didn't waver. You know, we made the adjustments that we needed to. We
didn't kind of get into the poor us, you know, we caused the pill to here, or should have this
been called there. Like, we just kind of had like a whatever-it's-gonna-take attitude, and that's
what it took. How do you go about coaching a team that is shooting itself in the foot or having those
mistakes? Like, what's the message to them when that doesn't happen? You know, you just, how do
I feel about coaching? I mean, I love coaching this team. You know, I think you look at it twofold,
right? There's the frustration of, all right, these can't happen because it's frustrating
to do, like, all the good things and to stop them the way we were, to move the ball the way we were,
but then you look at the scoreboard, you're like, all right, this doesn't make sense.
So that's got to get better. The flip side of it is, like, to overcome all that and still win
shows me some of the guts and toughness and culture in this room right here, because we
could have folded, and I think if those things weren't present, you know, maybe we don't coming
back and get it. And so, yeah, excitement, but we also got to get better.
