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.

We're just trying to win the next game.

It's a very tight-knit group, and they're all supportive of each other.

I'm just glad he didn't get to 30 points.

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.

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.

That's a warrior, the kind of player you want on your team.

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.
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.
shake
After you shake their hands, you can celebrate.
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.
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.
