00:00Especially for Kelvin Sampson, who took a very long time to get to this moment, and now back to the drawing board.

00:07Here he is on the tough loss.

00:09I told our guys after the game to be disappointed you lost, but do not be disappointed in your effort.

00:17Words to apply.

00:20You know, defending Florida is difficult.

00:24They've got a really, really good team.

00:26Coach Golden runs great schemes over there, but we guarded them.

00:34We held that team to 65 points.

00:37I thought if we held Duke to under 70, we'd have a good chance to win.

00:42I felt like if we held Florida under 70, we'd have a good chance to win.

00:49Saturday, we found a way to win.

00:52Tonight, maybe not so much.

00:54I'd say not so much.

00:56You got that right.

00:58And then, how about not getting a shot on the last couple possessions?

01:02I mean, come on, Coach.

01:04Yeah, I'm just going through those last two possessions more than anything else.

01:11You know, it's incomprehensible.

01:14In that situation, we couldn't get a shot.

01:17Got to get a shot.

01:17We're down two, and obviously, we didn't need a three.

01:23So, listen, this is my worst recurring nightmare.

01:29So, I go to these high school games of my daughter, Top, and they constantly have possessions with no shot.

01:40I mean, just like 15, 20 times a game.

01:43And I'm like, when I get in the car with her after the games, I'm like, you guys don't even get a shot off.

01:49You're so awful.

01:50Like, you can't even pass it, and someone chucks a shot?

01:54Like, even a bad shot.

01:56Can I get any kind of shot?

01:57Is there anything worse in basketball than watching teams that need to get a shot off, and they can't even get a shot off?

02:05Like, there's nothing worse.

02:07Like, you know you suck when you can't get a shot off.

02:10And, you know, you can tell that's what upset him the most.

02:13They had two possessions in a row with no shot.

02:17No shot.

02:18Not a no shot at winning.

02:20No shot at taking the lead.

02:22No shot at all.

02:24Like, you have no shot.

02:25You can't win.

02:26Like, I'm watching this kid play ball, and I'm like, you guys don't even get a shot off.

02:31Like, that's how horrible you are.

02:32You pass the ball around until you make a mistake.

02:35You heard me off air, what I call it.

02:37I can't even say it on the air.

02:38I'll get fired.

02:39What I call that offense, that scheme, where they pass it around.

02:43You know what they do?

02:44They do that at middle school and grade school.

02:46Pass it around until somebody drops it out of bounds.

02:49They don't even get a shot off.

02:50Like, they pass it nine times.

02:52Is there anything worse?

02:53I need one or two passes, a cut in a bucket, and a shot.

02:57I don't even care if they miss.

02:59You got to get a shot off.

03:00You don't get a shot off.

03:01You see what happens.
