ball deny game great guys pressure ready start wings
I think what we are going to do is go great ball pressure and deny wings to start the game because I want to know who is not ready to play. We had guys start this game like we don't have to play. Like they were going through the motions.
deep game
We're deep and we're also fast. I want the game that way.
create games
We were able to create turnovers and do that to create a gap. There will be other games that we won't be able to do that.
continue games guys
If they can keep these games from being fast-paced games, with the guys they have out there, they can continue doing this. If it's in the 60s, they got a chance.
bounce concerned energy game shows supposed texas
To have that kind of energy after that Texas game and to have one day in between shows that we bounce back quickly. We did what we were supposed to do. All I was concerned with was how we guarded, and I thought we were tremendous.
bit coach fast game move obviously
Obviously I didn't make the game fast enough. I didn't coach up to snuff. So, you know, it's a little bit of everything. We move on.
allen andre cooper eight game joey march minutes next opportunity players playing ready tried trying
The thing I've tried to tell each of these players is be ready for your moment. What if I only play Andre Allen eight minutes this game because Darius is really playing well? What if this game is better-suited for Kareem Cooper than it is Joey Dorsey? What I'm trying to tell our players is that you have to live with that and march on to the next game, and that may be your game and your opportunity to be the star.
edge game missed shots
They (UAB) didn't go away, and they had shots to get right back into the game and missed some shots late. I thought the rebounding edge is what put us over the top.
game guys played talks three
There was no one that played well. In this kind of game, you must have two or three guys that really play well and that everyone talks about after the game. We didn't have anybody.
basketball conference game usa
This is what Conference USA should be in every game and every building. This is a basketball environment.
came easily final game hat leaving lucky night noise played plays ricky teams trouble won
They (East Carolina) came out and played like it was the Final Four. They could have easily won this game and we are lucky to be leaving here with a win. If ECU plays like that every night out, they will give a lot of teams trouble and make some noise in the conference. I take my hat off to Ricky and the team. We played as well as we could play.
best changing games people stimulated sudden utilize won
I like it. It's stimulated by thinking. I thought it was the best way to utilize these players. So I changed. People thought I was crazy. 'You've won all these games doing it one way, all of a sudden you're changing everything.
ended game kept played
I have no idea. We just kept saying, 'Take it hard.' You know, the game ended up being played in a way that we couldn't get it changed, couldn't make the plays.
andre balance born games guys minutes nine played star today
I really like the balance we had today. We played nine guys for a lot of minutes and they all performed. There is a star born in every one of these games and today it was Andre Allen.
