attention basketball bit flow fluidity offense pops team
We're just a different basketball team when Pops is in the lineup. Our offense is able to flow with just a little bit better fluidity with him out there because of all the attention he gets.
attention creates pops team
We're a different team with Pops in the lineup. He creates so much attention just being on the floor.
among due experience gate inside lack pops tonight
I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.
experience fact free hoping ncaa pay position situation tournament
It was disheartening to play well enough to put us in the position to win, but we just couldn't make the free throws. I don't know if it was the fact that it was the NCAA tournament and we weren't used to the atmosphere, but I'm hoping that's where our experience will pay off if we're in that situation this year.
experience played
I thought he played pretty well the whole game. We went with our experience and that's what we've been doing all season. This was nothing unusual.
experience game huge league
(Temple) will be a huge game and our first league game. With what we have coming, we're going to be tested. Hopefully, our experience will get us through this stretch.
basketball clear experience team watching
They were a better team than us. It was clear to me and I was right there watching it. I thought they had better basketball players. Their experience really showed itself.
mentally prepared sure
I'm not so sure mentally we were prepared at the beginning. And that will be addressed.
climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
balance changing defense switching throw trying withers zones
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
challenged finished guys halftime mike proud step
I challenged Omar, Mike (Hall) and Regis at halftime and told them: 'You haven't scored yet. You guys have got to step up.' And we responded the way we should at home. I was very proud of the way we finished the game.
believe
I also believe that it was competitively motivated.
biggest inside offensive standpoint teams
I would think most teams will try to go inside from an offensive standpoint because we will be down an inside defender. I think that will be the biggest challenge.
improved improving indication last program
That we had improved from last year. The program is improving every year, and that was an indication that we had improved it. This year, we improved our status.
