ball create game good hard played plays second speed team tried
I thought we played really hard for a 10-minute spurt in the second half. We tried to create turnovers and speed the game up. But we were down by over 20 to a good team that plays ball control, and it was too much to overcome.
guys harder played taken
The guys have really responded. Defensively, they've taken it more personal, played a lot harder and a lot more together.
good hardest intensity job lead nation played practices talked
That was one of things we talked about. We wanted him to lead the nation in rebounds. He?s done a real good job with that and what?s he?s really done is played with a lot of intensity in our practices and games. He?s the hardest worker.
full game kenny rely relying shooting teams
I think sometimes we rely too much on Kenny alone. We play a much better game when we play a full game, relying on our shooting and contesting other teams shots.
capable winning
We're capable of winning this thing. That's why we're here.
best coming defense four last played playing stretch
Overall, I thought this was probably our best stretch of man-to-man defense that we've played all season. Now, we just have to keep working at that. We've been playing better. The last four games, I think we probably are playing our best basketball. It's coming together.
challenged commitment eight games low personally point team win
That was our low point of the season. We had eight games remaining. I challenged them personally and as a team to make a commitment to play defense, to make a commitment to win all eight.
We didn't get to their shooters early. They made shots.
ball extra kenny moving rather three throwing watching
With the three guards, we started moving the ball. We started making the extra pass, rather than just throwing the ball to Kenny and watching him play.
deal february great month patience reasons successful
We didn't show a great deal of patience. I thought one of the reasons we had been so successful in the month of February is our patience on offense.
bernard couple discipline personal potential released
We started well, but we had some personal issues. We had to discipline a couple guys. A potential starter, Bo Taylor, was released from the team. Bernard Lowndes got hurt.
answer entire
We didn't have an answer for Hassan for the entire game.
enormous number open ordinarily shots took
We took an enormous number of threes, more than we ordinarily want to take. The shots were there. We had a lot of open threes, but they just didn't go down tonight.
losing played saying
I don't know that you get a whole lot out of losing and saying that you played well. But I thought we played really hard. We didn't quit, and we weren't intimidated.
