limited practices seen
We've had limited practices but from what I've seen of him in practice, I like what he does.
came easy mentally team
We came out here and thought it was going to be an easy night. That's when a team has to know they mentally have to go after it even more.
acted came game gets league light quarter rarely switch third turn walking
We came out in the third quarter and acted like we were walking in the park. Then as the game gets tight, we try to turn that light switch back on. Very rarely in this league are you going to be able to do that.
ball care job obviously taking understanding win
We obviously have to do a better job taking care of the ball. But when you have 23 turnovers and you win the game, that's a plus. We've got to do a better job of understanding how important that ball is.
bunch guys jumping seemed
We've got a bunch of guys jumping around and they seemed to play better after that.
bunch calls teams
We got a bunch of calls about him in the summer. I think teams know better than to call us about him right now.
best guys home positions
When you don't have one of your best players, sometimes that's what you have to do. You've got to put guys in different positions to see how they react, see how they play. Sometimes you come up with a home run, sometimes you don't.
guys neither push
What that does to us is slows us down because neither one of those guys really want to push the ball. We need Speedy back in there so we can keep that up-tempo game.
adversity coming face game good guys job rest together
With all the adversity we've faced, I told them before the game that you guys have always done a good job of coming together in the face of adversity. That is something we're going to have to do, not just tonight, but the rest of the season.
damn four good low three type
Three or four years ago, he was a pretty damn good scorer down low and outside. Hopefully, he still has that type of potential.
soft
We were soft. That's why we got down 12-0. We were soft the whole game.
against basketball good happy instead satisfying straight trying wins
We were happy with two straight wins and that was satisfying enough for us instead of trying to come in here and get one against a very good basketball team.
loose mistakes proud talked
We didn't loose our focus, we did everything we talked about doing in pre-game. We made some mistakes but we were able to get through them with our aggressiveness, and that is what I was most proud of tonight.
center city criteria exhaustive facilities facility fantastic oklahoma possible tour
We did an exhaustive tour of all the possible facilities in the Oklahoma City region, and the Sawyer Center is a fantastic facility that exceeds all of the criteria that we had.
