basketball best closer couple definitely playing weeks
We're not playing our best basketball of the year, but we're definitely closer than we were a couple weeks ago.
best eight everybody late lost upset
It's kind of late (in the season) but we need to make a stand. I think everybody is really upset with the way we've been playing. When you've lost eight out of (ten), culminating with the blow-out (Sunday), the best thing to do is get back to basics.
best gets legs nice player
It's nice to have our best player back. We know what he can do when he gets his legs under him.
anywhere capable fly good great learn near win
I think it wasn't anywhere near what we're capable of, but I think it's still good enough to win. As long as we can learn on the fly and still win games, that will be great for us in the long run.
capable ourselves position strong three win
I think it's very important to have three strong, strong games. I think we want to do the things we're capable of and put ourselves in a position to win at the end.
early guys man move next opportunity preaching selfish team trying
I think early on guys were trying to feel each other out trying to move the ball. I don't think we have a selfish team by any means, but we have guys that are confident, that feel like they can take their man at times. I think one of the things we have been preaching early on is that the next man can take his man, too. If there's a better opportunity we have to move the ball.
behind forward opportunity relief ways
I think in some ways it's kind of a relief to have it behind us. It's an opportunity to go forward without any distractions; there's not any 'what ifs,' and I think it's welcomed.
dug
We never dug down, we never made a stand, we can't just show up.
balls execute guy half loose scores second
We got the loose balls in the second half that we didn't get in the first half. Those are the things we have to do. When you have to make up for a guy who scores 19, 20 points, you have to execute better. You have to do the little things.
basketball fun playing
With the way things have been, we don't want to get too excited. It's fun to be playing basketball now. It wasn't there for a while.
error execute level margin talent
With the talent level we have right now, our margin of error is small. We can't get away with the same things we could have when our talent level was that much higher. We need to execute things better to make up for the talent we don't have.
becomes cost error execute game half margin missing opened
When you're missing people, your margin of error becomes much smaller. You have to execute things a lot better. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half that really cost us and opened up the game for them.
athletics finding good half job struggles team ways
We got up by 11; I don't know if we got comfortable or what. We're finding a lot of different ways to lose. We had some turnovers and they are a team that struggles in the half court. If you let them use their athleticism . . . they are pretty good. They did a good job of getting out and running.
exactly finger good hard playing
We're just not playing very good basketball. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it is.
