competition good guys help last night personnel players plus realize step strength three weeks
What has been a strength the last two or three weeks with this team. We have personnel step in and help guys when they're not having a good a night as they wanted. We have 10 or 11 players help us. In practice, there is so much competition that guys realize that if they don't play the way they are capable, there is a guy there to do it and that is a plus for this team.
next trying win
We're just trying to win the next game.
against ball blocked guy hard help judge last mexico might nervous players prepare shots throwing time wonder
Let me tell you, that guy is really, really good. It's hard to judge how he'll do with blocked shots because he didn't have any against New Mexico in the last game, but he had 19 against us in two games. You wonder if he'll be healthy. ...You try to prepare the players for how he might help out, but at the same time you don't want to get them so nervous that they're just throwing the ball up.
anywhere ball defend either extra help justin left man open pass primarily pull punish shot weak williams
Most shot blockers will defend primarily on the ball or help from the weak side. Justin Williams can come from anywhere at any time. You have to be in the mind-set that you're either going to pull up and make a shot or find the man he left and punish him by making the extra pass to an open guy.
ball break good guys large push
For a large part of the game, guys were able to push the ball on the break and get a good look. That's kind of how we like to play.
ball college confidence good obviously shoot team teams
They are obviously a really good team and especially in The Pit. They play with more confidence at home. They shoot the ball better at home. And probably like most teams in college basketball, they have a lot of confidence from their crowd.
anytime game team
They got us to play the kind of game they wanted us to, and anytime a team can do that, they're going to have an advantage.
bleak looked
It looked pretty bleak there for a minute.
contain games needs
I think what you do is you find the games where they had the most success, and you go from there. You want to see what they've done well, and what needs to be done to contain that.
austin defenders fast front gets hard kid minutes point sharing stay
It is very hard for defenders to stay in front of him. He is deceptively fast for a kid as big as he is. Rashaun gets about 27 minutes a game, sharing the point with Austin Ainge.
consistent rely seems trying
He seems to get better every game. What we're trying to get out of Trent is more consistent play because we really rely on him.
kindness player
That's a warrior, the kind of player you want on your team.
attitudes emotional grown guys today win
You could see it in our guys' attitudes today that they were going to come out and play well. To get a big emotional win really helps. I think our guys have grown up a bit.
shake
After you shake their hands, you can celebrate.
