couple games last people valuable
I think the last couple of games people who haven?t scored that much have been just as valuable as the people who have scored.
leads start
It?s important (to start fast) but it?s more important not to be down 22-6. We haven?t been getting out to big leads like we had been in those games.
key
The key was to try to smother Vinson.
couple credit last
Give credit to Monmouth. The last couple of years they have outmatched us.
central player shake shook
A Central Connecticut player would not have done that. I did not shake his hand. I shook everyone else's.
confident couple foul line maybe needs rebounds shoot slump
Maybe he needs to get a couple of rebounds and get fouled and get to the line. I?m confident if we get to the foul line we can shoot our way out of this slump that we are in.
gets good inside outside score shoot tremendous variety
A tremendous inside player. When he gets the ball, he can score in a variety of ways. He can take you outside and shoot a 3. He can face-up on the block. Then he's good around the hole. He's a very good player.
aware beat containing dribble job value
Defensively, he used to be awful. He?d get beat on backdoors ... he?s doing a better job on screens. Now he?s not getting beat off the dribble very much. He?s containing his man. He?s more aware of the value of defense.
five shoot starters unique
They are a good-shooting team. They have an inside-outside game. They have five starters who can shoot the three, and that's kind of unique when you think about it. They have five 3-point threats.
lenny lit performance
We got an outstanding performance from Lenny Jefferson, who lit it up early.
concerns good inside league outside player threat
What concerns me is that they have a lot of weapons. They take the most 3-pointers in the league and they have a 3-point threat kind of team, but they also have a very, very good inside player in A.J. Jackson, probably as good as any inside player in the league. So they can take you outside and they can take you inside.
defensive dug good morris ourselves played robert score
We dug ourselves too big a hole. We weren't able to score and played sloppy. Robert Morris is a very good defensive team.
five games good keeping playing straight teams
We're playing pretty good ball, keeping teams for five straight games under 60 points.
measure
You can measure height. But you can't measure heart.
