basketball challenge defensive execute good guys hopefully learning principles supposed
I think guys are learning defensive principles and where they're supposed to be on the basketball court. So hopefully we can go out there and execute on the defensive end. It's a good challenge for us to see where we are.
both defense defensive definitely ends executing far game great last plan principles style team three
I think we're definitely getting close, as far as just executing his game plan -- his style of play on both ends of the floor. Great team defense the last three games. I think everybody's defensive principles are getting better.
guys head pulled sloppy unlike
It got sloppy out there at the end. We pulled through. Guys were able to keep their head - unlike me - and we got a much-needed win.
defense easily streak winning
Our defense was great. Can't say enough about our defense. It's tough, because it easily could've been a five-game winning streak if we just executed better down the stretch.
against hard
Nah, it's just another game. I mean, yeah, I'm going back to play against my old team, but there aren't any hard feelings.
coach feels game good knowing last looking mark
It feels good going into each and every game knowing when you are going into the game, ... I know here, coach is looking to put me in around the three- or four-minute mark of the first quarter. Last year, I had no idea. You could never get a feel for the rotation.
four however row
We'll take the four in a row however we can get it.
came early effort energy excuse flat home maintained next rest run
We came out flat today. We have been at home for a while but it's no excuse for us to come out like we did. They went on an early run and maintained that energy the rest of the game. We have to come out with a better effort next game.
guys learning playing
Those guys are learning the game. They're playing with more confidence.
came caught finally leading victory
He finally came out and told us he wanted this victory. Leading up to the game, practice, you could tell that coach, he wasn't getting too caught up in this. But he wanted this victory bad.
great guards point three top
Baron is one of the better guards in the league. He is probably one of the top three point guards. He is a great passer and he can also defend. ... He had a great day.
definitely good knock people point shots steve watched
He has a lot of confidence. I watched him knock down shots like that in the past. Steve is a good shooter. He's a pass-first point guard. A lot of people out there don't get to see it, but he can definitely knock down big shots when he has his opportunity.
certain expect guys
Certain guys take it personal. If I need to do something better, I expect someone to come tell me, because I can take constructive criticism. I don' think a lot of us can take it.
blake continue freshman fun game guys hopefully learned lots playing push since sophomore team understand year
Blake and I have been playing with each other since his freshman year and my sophomore year (at Maryland) so we have lots of fun playing with one another. We understand each other and the game. We've learned a lot since we've been in the game so hopefully we can continue to push the young guys on the team and hopefully we can continue to get better.
