Has not lost many games like this and you have control and just lost it. What was that like going through it? Was it good? Feel very straining? Yeah? No, it was unacceptable. You know, we can't do that. We we can't beat ourselves. Can't make those type of mistakes again, all three phases. Gotta play better. We'll look at the tape, fix it and move on. Celes, I mean, ideally, you don't want that lesson right, You want to You feel
like you got the right guys in the group. You got enough veteran leadership to understand situations and knowing when to put them away. Obviously I put a lot on the defense, especially in certain moments to put them away, and we're unable to do that. But you got to learn from a loss and make the make the changes.

I feel like there was there was moments of of us doing exactly that, doing it right, and then there are. Obviously there's moments of us gotta be better, right, so I gotta watch it to see exactly where we're at. We're up fourteen not then get a stop and they can fadun seemed like the guys could you could you feel and Coyle talking about not

Let's take that cool, Honestly, No, I feel like, like I said, I feel like we got the right guys in the building. Like it's never a matter of like, man, we were feeling ourselves thinking that we don't have to continue to work hard and earn
