fighting open screens using work
They were pretty much just face-guarding me and being very physical. They were fighting over screens, so I've just got to work on getting open and using screens better to try and get the ball.
good playing
They were playing good 'D'. They were a lot more aggressive. They were trapping in the backcourt.
bad definitely game games mistake necessary road tough win
This is definitely a game where we can win and where we'd be making a very bad mistake if we don't come out and do the necessary things to win. This is a tough road trip, and the games you can win, you definitely have to get.
beginning game playing send
It's a very big game for us, especially playing in their gym. I think we can send a message, so we have to come out energized from the beginning and get the (victory).
came stuck win
It was big, especially how we started the game. We came out really sluggish, but stuck with it, so that was a big win for us.
contested opportunity point shot took trying
It was set up for Andres and they read it well. He took a contested shot. But at that point we were just trying to get a shot off so we could get another opportunity at the ball.
everybody game good hopefully momentum
It was real good game for us. Everybody got to play and hopefully we can use it for some momentum in (Wednesday's) game.
builds means
It means a lot. It builds a lot of confidence.
behind free miss next throw time weigh
It's frustrating for me to miss that free throw because of the time and the situation. It won't weigh on me. It's behind me now. I've just got to make it the next time.
bunch continue doubt great grind turn
It's frustrating, but what are you going to do? There's no doubt about it in my mind, we can turn it around. We have a great bunch of guys. We just need to continue to grind it out.
easy touches
Not as many touches as I wanted. It's pretty easy to play someone who doesn't have the ball.
coach eventually smart won
They're going to be smart enough to eventually induct Coach Calhoun. He's won two championships.
encouragement
They're a little experienced at this. I don't think they need encouragement from us.
ball good job
They did a good job of getting the ball out of my hands.
