TCU 79, SMU 75
Fort Worth, Texas (Daniel-Meyer Coliseum)
Dec. 30, 2008
TCU Head Coach Jeff Mittie
On the loss:
"This one is going to linger for a little while. We don't play for another eight days and it will probably last longer than that. You've got to get over it, but it's one of those games that you feel like you did so many things poorly and still have a chance to win. Then you can't get a rebound, which has kind of been the story all year long."
On playing after a long break:
"I knew we would be out of sync and that we would have to feel our way through the game early, but we were out-hustled, out-played and they were more physical than we were. After having some time off, you should come in with fresh legs to counter that."
On TK LaFleur's second-half play:
"She made some good shots in the second half. We had to make some great plays to get back into this game."
On adjustments that need to be made:
"We have had a couple of games come down to one rebound or one defensive stop and we haven't been able to make those plays. If we are going to be a team that relies on our offense, then we are going to lose games like this all year long. We are going to have to cause some problems defensively and make some stops when we need them."
