basketball becoming early good great hopefully played second start stretch
I thought we had a great stretch of basketball early in the second half. We played well enough to keep the lead. Hopefully this is the start of becoming a good basketball team.
expect game good guys job ready second start time
You don't expect a game like that going into it, and our guys did a good job of being ready to play but also being ready to play at the start of the second half. It was good to see, especially at this time of year.
aware games proud starting teams ways
Starting games teams are more aware of him. We have to find ways to score, then the game comes to him. I was very proud of him. He was very mature.
control good leads next offense patience periods pop run rush score shows start sudden taking time wait work
You go through periods where you start to rush and all the sudden it shows up. You have to work on it, get that under control and wait for the next thing to pop up. You think you can score taking shortcuts. You don't just take your time and run your offense and be patient. Patience usually leads to really good shots.
bit break defense defensive good intensity sell start struggling time
Our defensive intensity was really good to start the game. I had to sell the idea that if you play really good defense most of the time and you're struggling a bit offensively, the defense will break some things loose.
deal halftime ready second seen seniors start whether
We've seen it about 10 times. You have to be ready to play. Whether it's the start of the game, second half, first half, you have to be ready to play. I can't go out there and play. You have to be ready to play as a player. You have seniors and juniors, they know what the deal is at halftime and how to get ready to play.
great job particular players
I thought our players did a great job the way we started out today, with everything that's going on around this particular game.
defense double good whether
I thought our defense wasn't good enough. Whether we doubled down or didn't double down, it just wasn't good enough.
ball basically bit intensity pushing stepped transition
I think we started pushing the ball and defensively kind of stepped up our pressure. Basically we just stepped up the intensity and were able to push the ball a little bit and get some transition buckets.
good played
I think so. We got up 25 (points) there. We played pretty good basketball.
behind cars front gotta speeding stand stopped
I see more cars stopped for speeding than I do trucks. They just can't stand to be behind a truck. They just gotta be in front of it.
attack basketball best carolina coming defense game guards hard north playing work
I said coming into this game North Carolina is playing the best basketball right now. They have size, their guards do what they have to do, they work hard on defense and they attack the glass.
bodies factor healthy second
We had more healthy bodies than they did, and it was probably going to be a factor in the second half.
game goes hang lead lull momentum win
We (had) a little lull there and they got some momentum. When you have momentum at home, that lead goes quick, and it really went quick. For us to hang on like that and win the game - that was big.
