They have a couple of great shooters, and we have to get out and contest their shots. And they have a big guy down low that is going to be a handful.
The brace was really good, it eliminated the pain. Even if I was on the bench I was still going to cheer the guys on. Just to play was very special.
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best.
That's just what we do. That's how we play. That's our system. Until somebody decides to stop us guards, then we'll continue to do that. Once they do stop us or we have an off night, we have guys that we can go inside too. A lot of people don't think we have an inside game.
I think Kyle does a great job of finding the guys who know how to score.
He jumped up there before me and I couldn't get there right away. My hand got caught up in his arm and the ref called the foul.
It was just a little pushing and shoving and words were exchanged.
Like coach always says, 'We play to be the best team at the end of the year.' At the end of the year, you can look back at all the accomplishments that you made. For right now, we're just going out there game-by-game. We're not trying to get all caught up in everything that's going around us.
For a freshman, that was a great play, just having the confidence to go up there and make a play like that at that time in the game. He went up and challenged him and made a great play.
They remind me of us. They didn't quit. They kept fighting. They're a tough team.
I've practiced two times already and the practices were great. My vision is back 100 percent, and I'm ready to get back out there and just play.
If they try and play us big, one of the main things we're going to have to do is defend and get out there and rebound. That's one of the focal points this year is rebounding more than anything.
I couldn?t find my shot in the trials, ... I couldn?t make anything. Playing defense in the one thing that Coach Wright has instilled in me. You?re going to have off day offensively, but you can never have an off day defensively.
Surprisingly, it's not that hard to block things out. You just go up there confident, with a clear head.
