close days defensive energy learning requires three win
I've thought for three days now this was going to be another battle. I think we're learning how to win these close games. It requires a lot of energy on the defensive end and rebounding to make that happen.
along difficult early four january late potential reach until
I've said all along we weren't going to reach our potential until late January or early February. That's what I'd been insisting even through those four games, which were four difficult losses. I think we'll be OK.

This game was lost in the first half. They came out with a lot more energy in the first half, and we turned it over way too much.

forget halftime played playing runs score second team teams
We played as well as we could play in the first half. I said to this team at halftime this is really about us going out and playing a better second half. Forget about the score and try to put it away and not let teams make runs on you like they have.

Canisius hasn't played to their expectations. But I think they are a team that is going to catch fire and start winning games in this league.
approach ball easy eye foul james marvelous next player playing propensity stay trouble turn
I never know from game-to-game if James is going to stay out of foul trouble or make easy shots. He has a propensity to turn the ball over. I never know from game-to-game where James is this year. Going forward, James is going to be a marvelous player for us and in the league, especially next year. But this year, I keep an eye on how he's playing and what his approach is.

It's lose and go home, survive and advance. Hopefully, our bench will come through. I want us to play like our backs are against the wall ? like a caged animal. They say a caged animal is dangerous.

They're both good teams with terrific senior guards. I'm happy to have earned a bye. It's something we couldn't do in our first year here. We're making progress.
ball body floor guard hard key lane line punch running scoring swinging throwing
The key for us is throwing the ball in the lane and getting some baskets. To me it's like a body punch in boxing. You just can't keep swinging at the head, which is sometimes what we do with the 3-point line. You have to make them feel it in the lane. ... If we are scoring in the lane and scoring from the 3-point line and Jared is running the ball down the floor and getting lay-ups, sometimes it's hard to guard our team.
