"We game them four days off for Christmas. It looked like we gave them 40 days off. We only made nine field goals (9-25) in the second half. "Rhode Island was more enthused, more alert. They kept taking it to the basket. Tonight in one stretch we missed five straight shots from two feet. We've got to be better than that. "I knew it'd be sloppy. I didn't think it'd be quite that sloppy. As a coach I can second guess my decision to give them four full days off. I still think it was the right thing to do. Maybe they'll be fresher at the end of the year."
