ball beat bigger shoot
They were bigger than us, but they didn't shoot the ball real well from the outside. We wanted to make them beat us from the outside.
ball guys last players problem ran sitting watching
Last year, our other guys ran into the problem of sitting and watching Crawford and Thomsen. Players used to get out of their way. This year, they know they'll get the ball and they know we need them to score.
ball coming easy pressure third turned
Especially coming off the third quarter, we really put the pressure on them, turned the ball over and got some easy baskets.
ball brings complete gets guy hits knows plays rest shots team tough turn
He does it every night, basically. I think the rest of the team knows that. He's the guy we're going to turn to when the going gets tough and he just does everything for us: Rebounds, plays their big guy, hits the big shots and brings the ball up when we're having trouble. He's just a complete all-around player.
ball change hopefully shoot slow
I think it's going to be a real battle. Hopefully we shoot the ball a little better. We'll change some things defensively to hopefully slow them down a little.
hoping
I was hoping he could at least see out of one eye, so he could still shoot.
free knocked quicker seemed step
We were in the double-bonus real early. We seemed to be a step quicker than them and they were fouling us and we knocked down the free throws.
last
We're probably play a little more up-tempo than last game.
defend everybody involved looking offensive score
If we defend better and offensively get everybody else involved and looking to score we'll be all right. And definitely, we need to keep them off the offensive boards.
looks picked rebounds six
He didn't get many looks at the basket. But he picked it up defensively and he had six rebounds and six steals.
arena huge step
Getting to the Arena is a huge step for our program.
hit inside job offensive points
We got a lot of points inside and we really hit the offensive boards, which I thought we could do a better job of.
guys seen
I've seen him do it 100 times in practice. The guys know if they get open, he'll find them.
bit great size sound
They sound a little bit like us. They don't have great size and they're not that deep.
