"Ultimately, we are judged by our results, so in that regards we failed tonight. But I'm incredibly proud of our players right now. I felt we dominated many facets of the game tonight, but just weren't good enough in the critical moment. I'm disappointed for our players. I hate saying it, but I felt they deserved better tonight. Despite the results, we've grown a ton these past few games. If we compete and play like this in SEC play, we can win a lot of games."
