capable constantly court defensive guys helping main starts talking team whatever
For whatever reason, a lot of guys are tentative when it comes to talking out on the court and helping one another. For us to be the defensive team that we need to be, and we're capable of becoming, it all starts with communication. That's our main thing. When we're out there, we need to constantly be talking to one another.
last learned tough
It's a tough job, but over the last two years I've learned how to do it. It's fun.
early easy
I think early on, we thought everything would come easy for us.
bounce found legitimate tough
That was probably my first legitimate tough stretch. I always found a way to bounce back.
answers causes consistent definitely figure great mediocre next night takes team terrible trying watched whatever
We watched a lot of film, just trying to get answers and trying to figure out what causes us to play that way. We were definitely embarrassed by a mediocre team. We don't want to be a team that's great one night and terrible the next night. We have to do whatever it takes to be a consistent team.
found free open shots slip
We had open looks. We've got to make our open shots and make our free throws. Somehow, we found a way to let it slip away.
chance explain game hard offense playoff problem stop team trying urgency win
We had a chance to win but it was like the whole game, we just couldn't stop them. Our offense wasn't the problem tonight. It was our defense. It's hard to explain when every game is so important, especially with a team we're trying to chase. Not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game, is really a shame.

This tragic event has destroyed the homes and lives of many people -- people I know. Many towns are experiencing this devastation and have yet to determine what, if any, buildings will be saved. We have to do something to help ease this burden.

amongst coaches everybody group hold night players together
We got together as a group -- just a little airing out -- and let everybody say what they had to say. So everybody had a night to think about it. You kind of have these things with the coaches at times, and sometimes players can hold back and not say what they really want to say. But once you're amongst the guys, you can get everything out.
happy last problems understand
We understand that we can't be happy with one or two wins. I think that was one of our problems last year.
focus games lose win
When we were up 2-0, we were pretty excited. We thought we just had to win two games. Those two games never came. You kind of lose focus when you're up 2-0.
earlier game games mature season starting team win
This was a game that earlier in the season we probably would not have won. We have really started to mature as a team and we're starting to win games like this.
game happen last plays smart understand weight
There are times when we tighten up and put the weight of the world on our shoulders. We don't make smart plays or understand the game situation. It's just the little things that didn't happen last year.
