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.
capable change eight five game lost next previous shows
One game doesn't make up for having lost (seven of the previous eight games). But it shows what we're capable of, and if we do things the right way, things can change in these next five games.
athletics capable career chance cut fair gave knee people problems remember sad stage
It wasn't him that gave in, it was his knee that gave out. He never really got a fair chance. I remember him having these problems from day one. It's sad to see anybody's career cut short. He never got a chance to show people on a big stage what he was capable of. It's a very frustrating thing for any athlete.
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.
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.
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.
