asking figured question questions team tough
Um, I mean, if we had that figured out, we'd be a better team. That's the question that's out there. We can't figure it out. If we ever do, we'll be a tough team to beat. How y'all are asking these questions - we're all asking the same things.
biggest consistent instead lose relying score stay stops together tough
When you lose a 30-point-a-game scorer, it's always going to be tough to score on a consistent basis. I think that's the biggest thing. We've got to stay together and try to get stops at the end instead of relying on scoring.
keeps learning shows
When it keeps happening, it shows that we're not learning from our mistakes. We keep doing the same things, and that's the frustrating part.
good seven stay
We?re 5-2 after the break. If we could go 5-2 every seven games, we?d have a good record. We just have to stay up and not get down.
consistent games score stay together tough
We are still in the playoffs, so we have to stay with it and keep trying. We have 16 games left. It is always tough to score on a consistent basis. We have to stay together and get shots.
worry care way
For me, it's always Christ first and playing the right way for Christ. If I do that, everything else will take care of itself. When I stay focused on that, there's no pressure to worry about.
hands knowing trying
I try to leave it in Christ's hands and trust that He knows the situation. He knows the position I'm in. He wouldn't have put me in this position if I couldn't handle it. That's what keeps me going, knowing that He's right there. I can call on Him whenever.
mistake kids trying
I just try to live the right way the best I can. I make plenty of mistakes but I just try to do the best I can and be a great example for my kids.
focus care firsts
Keep God first. If you do that, if you just focus on God and keeping Him first, then everything else will just take care of itself. Do everything for Him.
aggressive ball jump missed ours settled stopped taking
We stopped being aggressive and taking the ball to the basket. We settled for a lot of jump shots. We missed ours and they made theirs.
hats kept
When we went up early, I think we kind of thought that was it, that they were going to give up. You've got to take your hats off to them. They kept on fighting.
exactly great whatever
Whatever makes great players, that is exactly what he has. I don't know what it is, but he's got it.
blame small supposed switch
We were supposed to switch everything. We went small so that we could switch. I'll take the blame on this one; it was on me.
human nature stop
When you're up like that it's human nature just to be like, 'We've got this game. But we've got to stop doing that.
