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.
austin came challenged coaching consistent guys hard jimmy order others people road rough tendency tonight
I told our guys I wanted them to do two things: play hard and be tough. We've had a tendency to let people get after us on the road but tonight we answered. As a coaching staff, we challenged Jimmy to play hard and he responded. I thought Austin Ainge also came in and got us going after we got off to a rough start. In order for us to be successful, we need Jimmy and others to be consistent like he was tonight.
confidence force home indicative score
I think we have so much confidence at home, which is really indicative of a young team. They feel more comfortable at home and there's a lot more energy. We need to come out and force turnovers, and score in transition.
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.
anybody anyone best convince focus good teams time
I think that every time you play anyone in a tournament, you focus on their best games. You don't have to convince anybody of how good any of these teams are.
encourage engaged move players
Our players are really engaged and encourage each other. When someone makes a mistake, they're right there encouraging them to move on and get better.
guys
Right now our guys are making big plays. Things are going our way.
atmosphere great opportunity pit playing
I think this is a great opportunity for us. Playing at The Pit can be a lot of fun. It's a great atmosphere and a great place to play basketball.
days difficult fact figure trying
I'm still trying to figure it out. I like the fact that we have days in between to prepare, which was difficult in the Saturday-Monday because of our situation.
earned felt good guys hard played
That felt good and it is long overdue. Our guys earned it. They played hard and tough.
confident game good national played playing team tournament winning
When you get into a national tournament at the end of the season, you know you're playing good teams. This is a team that is used to winning and it showed tonight. They're very confident and very good at how they play. They played the game played at their pace.
ball best game helped lost played season turning
When we lost to them down there, they played what may be the best game of the season for them. We kind of helped by turning the ball over and never really got into our offense.
adjusted attitude compete confidence couple few gets great help letting moves shots teammates trusting
Trent has a great attitude and comes to compete everyday. He has a couple moves that he really likes, and defenses aren't letting him make those moves. He's adjusted well to being able to move around and get shots off; now he's just got to make them. The most important thing is for him to keep his confidence up and for his teammates to keep trusting him. Once he gets a few baskets in transition, it'll really help his psyche.
games hottest league learned playing teams tough
Wyoming is one of the hottest teams in the league right now. They are a team that has had some tough games and learned a lot about themselves. They are playing well right now and are really confident.
