"I think we just have lapses. In each game, there's a point where a lapse occurs. Whether it's early, late, or in the middle of the game—whenever it happens—we haven't bounced back from them as we should have." Williams said. The former Blue Devil had 24 points and added 12 rebounds on 11-14 from the field.

As for Bridges, the former Spartan had this to say:
"At the start of the season, we relied on our defense, but now we just try to get our offense going by taking shots that we normally don't take or forcing it. We just gotta go back to relying on our defense."
