approach exact fairly guys totally
We're not going to say, 'OK, you guys have done great, but this is a totally different now. We'll approach it the exact same way. We'll try to keep the guys loose, and they should be because they're fairly confident.
guys happens internet perform sensitive
What happens on the Internet is some (players) are sensitive and some guys aren't. Some guys look at that stuff; some guys don't. The guys that don't usually perform better.
best defensive equation factor good guys last majority night offense playing second team
The other thing our offense wasn't very good last night at all. If the offense isn't very good, I think you are better off playing your best defensive team the majority of time. That also could factor into the equation why those guys didn't get in the second half.
best four games good home played road worst
We've actually played better away from home. Our four road games are the best games we've played all year. Our fourth-best home game hasn't been as good as our worst road game.
good grades shape
We're in good shape with that. Our grades have been good. We're in good shape in that area.
attorney behind comment district further situation speaks statement
We have put this situation behind us. The district attorney statement speaks for itself. We will have no further comment on this matter.
base basketball certainly
We did not do all the things that we should have done. Basketball isn't like football. You don't base everything on one game. You base everything over time, and there were certainly some things that we did out of character.
physically playing
We're still playing better physically than we are mentally.
cordial spoke
He called. I called him right back. We spoke for 30 minutes. I think it was a matter-of-fact, cordial conversation.
gratifying league since start worst
For us to have the worst league start since (1983) and then go 13-3 is probably more gratifying than if we had started out 10-0.
cleaned everybody good great
They great thing about it is that when they missed, we cleaned up. I thought everybody did some good things.
figure staff team
The big thing is, we have to figure out as a team and staff a lot of things: a.) who to play, and b.) how we're going to play in different situations.
forces good guy help playing shooting worried
He's a good on-the-ball defender, loose-ball guy and forces help offensively. Now that he's not worried about making shots, he's shooting better. He's playing really well.
defended eight range score shots turned
We didn't play as well as the score indicated in the first half. We made shots - we were 7 of 10 from 3-point range - and turned it over eight times. We didn't play great, but we defended and we rebounded.
