confidence continue continuing expected gaining guys people
Our whole thing has been to continue to improve. Not a lot was expected of these guys by people but they have been gaining confidence and we're continuing to improve.
backup constant expect guys happen minutes plays stepped transition year
Replacing guys has always been a constant in this program. Guys have always stepped up. Carl went from a backup to a guy who plays 30 minutes a game. That's the transition guys are going to have to make. I expect that to happen this year as well.
bring definitely helps talk
Recruits definitely talk about it. You bring them to a game, and they see the environment. It's good. It helps us a lot.
against biggest
Rebounding is our biggest fundamental. It's our biggest emphasis. We didn't get it done against DePaul.
either five games gone good last records road undefeated
Records on the road usually aren't as good as records at home. We want to be undefeated on the road well but we had all five games down to the last minute. They could have gone either way.
good next people question shot worked
I think it worked out well. The way it worked out, you're not going to get a better shot. We couldn't have done it any better. We got as good a shot as you can get on the next play. People are going to question it, but we did the right thing.
continuous dramatic overnight process signed since
It hasn't been like an overnight thing or even an over-the-summer thing. It's been a continuous process really since we signed him. His improvement's been constant, yet dramatic when you look at it.
basket earn finishing forced saw tough wing
Keith penetrated and got to the basket very well. Defensively, he made them earn their points, forced them to take tough shots. He's also exceptional at finishing on the wing in transition, which we also saw a lot of tonight.
amazing came feeling fine free happy
It came down to free throws. It's amazing how it's such a fine line. It's amazing how one little thing can go from making you feel happy to feeling disappointment.
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.
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.
defend everybody guard knows secret
We've got to defend and guard the perimeter. There's no secret there. Everybody knows that.
We've just got to keep doing the things that we're doing and keep getting better.
playing win
We want to win every game. We're 21-4 and playing well right now.
