again early half hole hurt improved rushing second
We were so impatient, rushing things offensively and that hurt our defense. We improved in the second half but again that early hole was huge.
considered worried
We hadn't even considered that. Right now, we're more worried about (Benjamin's) health.
couple game good knew played plays
We did a lot of things well; we battled, we played hard, rebounded well and did a lot of good things, but at the end of the game we knew it would come down to a couple of plays at the end of the game and it just didn't go our way.
ball care foul line played
We did a lot of things well, we battled, we played hard. We have to do some things better, take care of the ball better. We need to get to the foul line more.
anxious business care guys played ready took
We'll be ready to go. Our guys will be anxious to go. We took care of business (Saturday). We played very well throughout.
aaron clock easy efficient good inside missed patience second shots wear
We were very efficient in the second half. We wanted to get it inside to Aaron from the start. We missed some easy ones early. Our patience was good in the second half. We used the clock and got shots at the end of the clock, which can wear down teams. We really had good clock management.
dug game huge ourselves points
We dug ourselves a huge hole. That many points when the game is only going to be in the 50s is a huge hole.
capable concern guys near number ourselves progress talked
We don't concern ourselves with our record. It's all about getting better. We're not near where we need to be defensively. That's what we talked about after the game. We need to make significant progress defensively, and with the number of young guys we have, I think we're capable of doing that.
bad both guys knew relationship win wondered work
You always wondered how the relationship was going to work out with two guys that are so competitive. But both guys wanted to win so bad that they knew it was the right thing.
early foul hand hurt offense problems rushing
We were impatient. Rushing things offensively and that hurt our defense. We had some foul problems early and that hurt us. We just didn't play well. Our offense has a lot to do with our defense. They go hand in hand.
best defense
We battled. Our defense was the best it's been. That's really been our emphasis.
complaints-and-complaining improving second
We're 16-1. I wouldn't want to be complaining about that. No one would listen. We're getting better and improving every game. Even (against St. John's), we got much better in the second half.
guys half knew second strong team
We knew as a team that they were going to come back strong in the second half and our guys responded well.
battle sets win
To be successful, we need to win the battle of the boards. It sets up everything we do.
