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.
win
I think we can win it. I think we have all the pieces.
guards passive
Their guards were kind of passive and really wanted Tucker to take over the game.
fun grown team
Our team has grown close. We're having fun together, having fun with the game, and that's a key.
freshman happen ncaa second year
It's been a while. That's one thing I told the freshmen. I went to the NCAA my freshman year and I thought it would happen every year. I thought it would be a given. It's not. Now I get my second chance. I want to make the most of it.

I think the key at this point of the season is to keep improving. Keep expanding your game.
crash credit guy main others people physical realize
They are a real physical team, more than most people probably realize or give them credit for. Batista is the main guy but they have others who also crash the boards. We're small. We can shoot. But when Marco is out, we don't have a lot of options.
confidence mind watching
We don't mind watching him. We have confidence in him.

We didn't expect that. We were as happy as they were that we won, but it wasn't like we were unranked beating the No. 1 team.
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.
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.
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.
