conference expect last usa using
Conference USA doesn't expect us to do very well, but we use that as motivation. They put us in last place (in preseason rankings) and we're using that as motivation. It's working pretty well for us during the game.
effort energy lack stick
A lack of effort. That's the key, lack of effort at the end of the game. We need to stick with that energy the whole game.
hotels mall tournament
Hotels and gyms, that's it. At the tournament we went to the mall one time, but that was all.

It builds my confidence. I still have to learn from my mistakes. I'm still a freshman. I still have room to improve. But I think my confidence will be much higher.
loss nobody
It was a very important win. After (Thursday's) loss we were kind of down all night. Nobody was talking.
everybody game knows team
Everybody on the team knows how each other's game is now and what we can do.
ball coaches confidence good open shoot teammates thankful
It's all about the team, and if it wasn't for my teammates, I wouldn't have made it. We are in this together, and they get me the ball and have confidence in me to shoot the open shot. I'm just thankful to have good teammates and good coaches around me.
game intensity
We have to come out and keep the intensity up the whole game.
everybody happened key players somebody step stepped
We were without one of our key players and we had to step it up. Somebody had to step it up and what happened was everybody stepped it up.
bring drill practice
We do a six-minute drill every day at practice and we need to bring that drill into the game.
