COACH BRYANT'S THOUGHTS
"This was a battle, as we expected the third game of the series to be. We had good fight but needed to be more productive offensively, especially earlier in the game. Stepping up and capitalizing on opportunities is key in close games. We will continue to grow as a team as we head into our bye week."
