Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"We definitely were not at our best today. Grace is a very good team and they punished us any time we missed our spots or when our focus dropped that little bit. We got a good taste of what it takes to be a top-20 team nationally and I know the guys are anxious to get back on the court tomorrow and show that we can play at that level."
