ability basket buy confidence drives guys half hard knock mix open shooting sit
Personally, I don't like shooting a lot of 3s. I want to get some drives to the basket and do some other things. You can sit out there and shoot 3s all game, easy. It's hard for me to buy into that. I want to mix it up some because I have the ability to. At the same time, we have guys who can really knock down the 3s. It made you not want to shoot any more 3s in the first half because we weren't making them, but open shots, you've got to have that confidence you can knock them down.
definitely second
It's definitely a sense of relief. We made it to the second round.
close coach defender defense hand high liberty shoot teaches
Coach always teaches us on defense to close out with a high hand and take away that shot. If you're on offense, if a defender doesn't do that, then you're at liberty to shoot the 3. It's just confidence.
changed defensive guys hard man proper strong teams work zone
They changed their defensive sets, from a man to a zone to a 1-3-1, and we made the proper adjustments. You've got to make those guys work hard on defense. A lot of times, we let other teams off the hook. We've got strong guards, and we need to use them.
confidence earlier game passed shot twice
I had that same shot earlier in the game -- I think I had it twice -- but I passed it up. I have confidence in that shot.
game inside
They really established their inside game. That's the way the game is played, going inside out.
break defense fast stops transition
Our defense has to be there. We need to get stops and get some fast break transition opportunities.
chance fifth four game good losses opportunity positive privileged season spite stay thankful year
This is our fifth consecutive year and I've been privileged enough to be on four of those teams. This is just an opportunity for us to play well and to be together. Every game is another chance to make it better. In spite of our losses here lately, we've had a good season and a good record. There's a lot to be thankful for and stay positive about.
fun happen
It should be fun. I don't know what will happen but we'll be ready.
definitely four seen worse
I've been here four years. We've definitely seen worse times than this.
alert aware capable deceptive defensive good job overall people respect shock shoot tough
A lot of people don't respect him, but I do. I know what he's capable of doing. He's a tough guy. He can shoot the ball. He's deceptive when he drives. It isn't a shock to me. I just think overall on the defensive end we didn't do a good job of being aware and alert on some of that stuff.
focused good
He got on us, but we also focused on the good things we've done.
coach defensive effort extra foul game good hold middle picking plays rebounds stay
Coach has really been challenging him to stay out of foul trouble. We need him to hold the middle down, get big rebounds and make good defensive plays without picking up fouls. I think he's going to make the extra effort to stay in the game and we're going to need him to.
family state
At this place, we're used to it. Fans, media, family. The State thing has been like that for a long time.
