ball caught game guys inside last nobody slapping soon stronger sure taken tough
Just really being stronger was important for us, and being tough on the inside. A lot of times we were able to get the ball inside in the last game but they would come in, and you've got guys slapping at the ball and everything and we were getting it taken from us. This game, we made sure as soon as we caught it we were ball-tough and that nobody could take the ball from us.
bit box couple guy throw tough
He's a big dude. He's talented. He's skilled. When you have a guy that big who can really play, it's always a tough guy to handle. But we're going to throw a couple of things at him. I'm going to try to big-to-big a little bit, just because he's so big. Hopefully, we're going to try to box him out a little bit and keep him off the boards.
floor guy helps honest leading mainly perfect slip telling throw time
Mainly it's Marcus, to be honest with you. Marcus is telling me a whole lot of times where to go. He'll just come up to me after a play and say, 'Next time slip that.' I'll be like, 'All right,' and he'll just throw a perfect pass. It just really helps to have a guy like him on the floor leading us.
depth eight guys score seven speaks talent
We have so many guys we can go to. I think we had seven or eight guys score 20 points. That speaks to our talent and the depth of our team.
almost guess guy hard hit playing post runs score year
It?s almost like playing a wing. He runs around a whole lot of screens, he can hit the 3, and I guess this year he?s been in the post a lot more. It?s hard to play a guy who can score that many ways.
fun guys help job
It's always fun to come out here and perform. We'll help the young guys out. It's going to be everybody's job to keep them focused.
brown good guys hilton nine senior tight
I think that?s having nine guys who can come in and play. That?s having guys like Denham Brown and Hilton Armstrong, senior leaders, who have been there before. In tight situations, you know they?re going to make good plays.
alter beat block challenge knows point somebody whether
I think at this point just about everyone knows when they come down the lane, even if they do beat the first man, there's going to be somebody there to challenge the shot. Whether they block it or just alter the shot.
force main run running tough
Just being tough and running. Those are the two main things. We?re going to have to be tough every play. We?re going to have to not let them force us out of our offense, and we?re going to have to run as much as we can, especially the big men.
figured four great job lock quick saw score somebody step three
I saw him score three or four quick buckets and I just said there's no way he can score anymore. If he does, they're going to try and take over the game. He was doing a great job out there and I just figured somebody had to step up and lock him down.
block exactly focus great job motivating realized situation stuff time worry
I think he realized the situation and that this probably wasn't the time for screaming. He did a great job of motivating us and getting us to focus on exactly what we need to do and block out all the other stuff and don't worry about the score.
again figured happen nights tonight
Just never let up. I thought we had really figured that out, but tonight was one of those nights where it happened. I don't think it will ever happen again with us.
close five four kept key needed second shots stayed stops tough within
It always is. That's how they really stayed in the game. They were just really, really tough tonight. They didn't let us get a 10-point cushion. They kept it within four or five all second half. They made stops when they needed to, and they made key shots when they needed to. So, it was close down the stretch.
wish
I wish I knew. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened.
