containing few good job
I don't think we communicated as well as we should have. A few times, we got mixed-up. We just didn't do a good job containing them on the perimeter.
cinderella everybody outcome
Everybody wanted to see us lose. We just had to make the Cinderella story a different outcome than all the ones in the movies.
capable improvement knew opportunity shock showcase
His improvement is more of a shock to the fans. We always knew what he was capable of doing. Now he has the opportunity to showcase his skills.
high last time
The last time I did something like that was in high school.
bang inside maybe watch
You watch him on film, and maybe you think he's a little small. So you can bang him inside or do something with him. But you get out on the court, and he's completely different.
advancing felt good next people round
It felt great, but we don't feel as good as a lot of people may think about advancing to the next round because it's just another game.
anybody hope mess uniforms
I hope those uniforms don't mess anything up if anybody is superstitious.
deal study test
I think all of us have competed for a championship at least once in our lives. So all of us know how to deal with it. It's kind of like we have a test. You study for the test all day long, every day. You just think about the test all the time.
great impressed knew people pinch playing together
I can't say I'm surprised. We've been playing together a while and impressed a lot of people in the summer. I'm not going to pinch myself. You know, I'm not cocky, but I knew we had a great team.
anybody foreign knows nobody
Minnesota. Nobody knows anybody here. We're in a foreign place.
guys
The thing about our guys is they don't need the money.
good pace win
There was a good pace to this game, but we didn't get the breaks. It's unfortunate because we need a win at home.
break defensive equals everybody fast gets hyped leads starts steals stop talking trash
I think that starts in our scrimmages where everybody is talking trash and challenging each other. During games, once we get a defensive stop it kind of leads to a fast break, and a fast break equals points. Then everybody gets more hyped because they want to get more steals and more dunks.
games lost mindset motivates road tougher
It motivates us a little more. Away games are a lot tougher to win. So, our mindset has to be right. We've lost two road games already this year. I know all of us think about that.
