basketball create problems rest team
They're a team of basketball players. They're not a team of positions. But they create problems you're not going to see the rest of the year.
finishing happened painful plays point problems size statistics
Statistics point to what happened in this game. We had problems finishing plays where we had the size advantage, and it was painful at the free-throw line.
certainly chance hopefully near percent played playing weekend
Hopefully not playing this weekend will give him a chance to get near 100 percent for Tuesday. If we played (Thursday), he certainly couldn't play.
bit difference fighting game shots struggling
I thought the difference in tonight's game was Palacios. I think he has been struggling a bit lately. I know he has been fighting injuries. He made a lot of shots in penetration around the basket.
beaten good lost start today
We've been beaten this year, but I didn't think we lost any of those games, but we lost today. It was important for us to get off to a good start today but we didn't do it.
chance despair gave losses ourselves
We never gave ourselves a chance to win. But I don't think we have despair in our game; it's frustration. These losses hurt, but it should be painful.
downs group ups
When you have a group of young kids, the ups and downs are dramatic.

When you have a young team, you have to hold the lead. We started off well, but we didn't earn our baskets later on. We didn't get to the free-throw line.

We did a great job of breaking it down into four-minute segments. I don't have a 19-point play.

We got beat up a little bit on the glass because we got spread out a little. They're quick to the glass.

We were down three to Villanova and 5-for-17 at the line. We have lost three or four at the free-throw line so I'm really proud of our kids.

We worked hard to hold them in the 60s. We got beat up on the glass, but ... we did a good job of guarding.
incredible swings
There are some incredible swings this season. More so than I've ever seen.
body close developed eric fun game island left pick post proud push terrific tried
The only thing I would say is that when you play Wake, you have to pick your poison. We tried to close the perimeter down and left our post on an island. It's no fun being on an island with Eric Williams. He's going to push you into the ocean. He's a terrific player. I told him before the game I was so proud of the way he's developed his body and his stamina.
