dribble jump living rhythm shot took
We really got up on him and kind of took him out of his rhythm early. We wanted him to have to dribble to his shot and get in the paint. He's a jump shooter. That's how he makes his living -- making threes.
chance defense execute
We really have to execute on defense and get up and down the court. If we can do those things, we have a chance to get a win.
belts boost closer direction game step
This one would be a big boost for us. To get this game under our belts would really get us going in the right direction and where we need to go. It would put us one step closer to the (NCAA) Tournament.
beginning defense fight hard inside looks open outside played slow start stretched tough tried
We got off to a slow start but played hard on defense and tried to take the fight to them. They're a tough team. They have so many weapons, inside with Brunner and outside with their shooters. They stretched us out and got some open looks at the beginning of the game.
ball cuts harder key movement plays running
We started making harder cuts and concentrated running our plays correctly. That's probably the key to ball movement and getting better shots.
fun key
We're having fun with each other and we're having fun with the game. I think that's the key at this point.
ball changing deny double mess might rhythm straight
We're going to give them different looks. We might double at times, or we might play them straight up, or we might deny them the ball sometimes. We'll keep changing it and try to mess up their rhythm a little bit.
needs open team
We're a team that needs to make open threes. When we make those, we open up everything for Marco and all the other guys.
coming four good job last open paint piece process regardless situation trying
We were actually trying to get Marco open on that last play. Dials was coming through the paint and it was my job to get Marco open so he could get the ball. In the process I got a good piece of Dials and he went right through me. Regardless of the situation we were going at Dials because he had four fouls.
advantage might small
With Marco out we really don't have a lot of options. We're small and we can shoot, so we might as well take advantage of it.
feels gear monkey
We can exhale now. It feels like we got a little monkey off our back and we can gear up for Sunday.
easy figured trying
We're just trying to get this thing figured out and there are no easy answers.

We're just trying to play, execute our game plan and win games. We need a couple wins to get that feeling back.
reasons
There are so many reasons for us to win.
