Casey Morsell speaks to the media after a 87-83 loss to Syracuse.
My father, uh obviously people seem pretty upset and here um even more so maybe than, than the typical loss, what's kind of going through everybody's mind right now. Um It's a lot. Um yeah, it's obviously a game that, you know, we won and um came down in details little things and uh you know, we couldn't capitalize at the end. So, you know, but it all started in the first half, everybody's responsible me and, you know, everybody played their role and for us being down in the first half and that, that's what came back. Um but it made a difference in the second half. Does it feel like that's been the common theme? Just getting down too much in the first half? Just not be able to complete the come back in the second half? Oh, well, yeah. Um I think um it's more of a trying to figure out why, uh you know, it could be a lot of different factors but um yeah, we just gotta come out sharper um and execute further down stretch. What do you think it was those such a great comeback? But then for those last 73 possessions to, to not come out with anything. What was it that, that happened there? That was a common thread or a reason why you think? I mean, so it's like I said, I mean, it just came down to a possession game, I think, you know, whatever happens at the end of the game. Um, you know, that, that, you know, you gotta live with it, but I'm saying more in the, in the first half, um, we gotta be, uh, uh, uh we gotta play a complete game in order to win in this league and we didn't do that tonight. Uh, and, you know, credit to them. They got us down 15.5 time. It's stuff for anybody to come back from. What were you guys trying to do to stop Chris Bell in the first half? Run him off. Um, you know, he kept getting look after look, um, you know, but he has a, he has a quick release, you know, granted we were there but, uh, you know, we gotta be there early pretty much. We look, you know, had to run like a box of one, something that could, uh, just make them a little more uncomfortable. How do you view the, the tournament hopes? Now? Obviously it's, it's up against the wall. But how do you kind of view the mountain of the platinum? Take it one day at a time, take it one day at a time. Um We got a lot of basketball left, um, a lot of opportunity left and as you see, man, we could be anybody in the league, um, still wide open. The AC C is wide open. Um, but we can't let this game, you know, be our season, which she did pretty much time.
