defending deficiency domino gets locked quit shot shots stop
Our deficiency as 3-point shooters showed up, badly. When that happens, there is a domino effect. Once we quit making our shots from the perimeter, they stop defending us. Then our No. 1 threat, which is Ian, just gets locked down. Ian did not get a shot at the basket.
fire full games messing somehow stopped
That's two full games where we haven't stopped anybody. Somehow we outscored Charlotte. We didn't outscore Dayton. We're messing with fire if we think that's how we can play. We have to stop people.
afraid ask felt kid leadership practice stop style teammates
His leadership style is who he is. He's very abrasive. If his teammates were honest, some would say they don't like it at all. I've always felt when you ask a kid to lead, you have to ask them to be who they are. Anthony is who he is. He'll stop practice if he doesn't think his teammates are working. If nothing else, he's not afraid to be in front. He's not afraid to lead.
couple goes win
It goes without saying, you have to win. You have to win more than one of them. You have to win a couple of them.
hole seems
It always seems to be the hole in the dike.
clearly good shooting
We clearly can not be described as a good shooting team. I think that's obvious.
continue dominant effort himself post team teammates
That was a team effort to make him more forceful. His teammates had to play a part in that, to continue to look into the post every time. To Ian's credit, he re-established himself as a dominant center. He was too much for them to handle.
feels four three win
It feels good. Not just to win three in a row, but to win four out of five.
guys life
It doesn't have a life of its own. You guys can write about it. But it's been weird.
behind defensive games good putting quality
We're not putting this one behind us. I'm not so into the standings and all of that. I'm into the quality of play, and for two games in a row, our defensive quality of play was not good enough.
designed great player
Tommie didn't get a great shot. There's a great player that made a great play. It wasn't a great designed play. He just made it work.
became fan fun
Wow. From my vantage point, that was fun to watch. I became a fan there for a while. He was really spectacular.
easier free hard paid whenever
Whenever you have a five-man that makes free throws, it makes it a lot easier because he's going to get fouled the most. He's been working hard and it's paid off for him.
adult playing shots
He was like an adult playing with kids. He was getting shots for different kids.
