On the message to the team after the loss:
It is tough to find words. I just told them that they have lots of reasons to be proud of the work that they did this season that put us in a position to even play in this game tonight against an opponent like that.
There are lots of reasons to be proud, and yet lots of reasons to be devastated and upset. We feel good about the effort we put forth. I thought they gave us everything that they had.
We did come up short.
