MARK POPE UK RADIO NETWORK Q&A:

* So many factors tonight. They played well. We did not. Glass played into it. Extra possessions after they held the ball for a long possession. Too many turnovers. Did not play with the movement, decisiveness, patience needed to attack the way we attack. Trying to find out why.

* Otega sitting out a lot of the first half hurt. But we should be able to function with all the guys on our roster being on the floor. A lot of self-imposed problems.

* We have to learn to be less distracted, especially on the road.

* 15 offensive rebounds allowed is a massive issue. Our guys know this. It's just not being focused.

* Every game is going to expose some things about us, and we've got to respond to what the game is teaching us.

* Incredibly disappointing.

* Our ability to be completely present in the moment is really important, and we weren't tonight.

* On Jaxson Robinson's struggles... Trying to focus on things to help his teammates when his shot isn't falling. Has to continue to focus on doing more things when the shot isn't there. He's a vet. He'll get it done.

* Lamont Butler is carrying a massive weight on his shoulders right now with Kerr out.

ANDREW CARR UK RADIO NETWORK Q&A:

* We have to get way more tough, way more physical, maybe a little nasty.

* Our energy was drained by the foul calls tonight. We let that take away from our energy. We have to respond with more of a chip on our shoulder than what we did tonight.

* We didn't move our feet, swiped at the ball a lot in a last-ditch effort to stop the drives tonight, and refs are going to always call that on you. Have to guard better without fouling.
