Casey Morsell speaks to the media after an 84-78 loss to Virginia Tech.
Who we are. Um, even though we lost, I mean, all of our mistakes are fixable. Um, now, you know, we got a good shots coming up with UV on the road. So it's another opportunity waiting for us, but we just got to fix all of our mistakes, um, because they're all fixable. Even with the loss, you finished with a game high 19 points. Does that give you some positive momentum that shots are falling for you now? Oh, yeah. Um, like I said, man, I just, no one needs to change anything. I mean, we gotta make minor adjustments but, um, you know, just stick to me who, who we are, we all put in work. We all, um, know what it takes to win at this level. So, um, like I said, man, we got a big stretch coming up. We're just looking at Casey with about five minutes to go. They, they pulled away there and defense has been your guys calling card all year. Was there something they did specifically that, that led to that lapse? I mean, honestly, they, they did a, um, good job, um, reading the press. I mean, uh, they were, you know, finding open guys, um making us work on, you know, when we were on defense, you know, multiple passes, multiple drives. I'm just trying to get up, get open lane. So, um, you know, like I said, man, we, we just gotta keep being who we are and, uh we got to do it for a full 40 minutes, not 3035 we just gotta do it for a full 40 minutes. Did you guys say anything in particular to each other in here while we were waiting for you guys outside after a tough loss like this? Yeah, I mean, um, just pretty much talking about, you know, we got, it starts off the court, it starts, um, in the locker room like we just got to be complete in everything we do. Um, no one should take shortcuts and, uh, you know, we'll be able to apply our mistakes or fix our mistakes heading into the next game. It seems like over the last few games, you guys have turned the ball over a little bit more, you know, what does that kind of, you know, come from? Is it just other teams, you know, forcing pressure or what is that? Yeah, I mean, uh, yeah, it, it takes defense, um, to get to where you wanna go. Uh, we're our, our identity as defense and guarding the ball at a high level. Um, you know, and we didn't do that in the second half today. Um, 51 points in the second half is way too much and, you know, that was the game like that was really what, you know, got the victory.
